[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you still haven’t answered how you’re going to feel about wrangling 3 kids all weekend at a wedding while your husband and his parents are occupied with the wedding? After reason the thread, this really strikes me as merely another “I hate my SIL” threads. You’re upset that she has the spotlight, and you and your kids don’t. [/quote] OP- I actually hate the spotlight. Hate it so much I didn’t have a wedding and eloped - inconveniencing exactly zero people. And I’ve brought my kids to weddings before that were kid-invited. They were adorable, had so much fun, made great memories, and wedding guests thought they were cute. And I am close to my SIL and DH is very close. As I said, DH thinks she made the decision to impress her friends and will regret it later.[/quote] How very selfish you are, OP. Weddings are about two families coming together, right? And you excluded everyone? Including your own parents? How dreadful. I thought weddings are family reunions? I mean, either that, or good for you for doing it exactly the way you and DH wanted it. Which is it?[/quote] This. OP didn't invite anyone to her wedding. She didn't let anyone else's kids "make great memories" or "bring families together." There were probably some family members disappointed that she didn't have a big, traditional wedding. And she did that based on her own personal preferences. How selfish! Except it wasn't, apparently, because [reasons]. It's okay when she chooses how to celebrate her wedding, but not when SIL does. I think weddings with kids can be fun. I think weddings without kids can be fun. I think that, while the bride and groom should strive to be gracious hosts, there are many forms that can take, and guests should accept or decline the invitation, and maybe give people that they supposedly love the benefit of the doubt. And I've known a few people who had no-kid weddings. Not one of them regrets it. They have nice memories of their weddings. [/quote]
