[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are all these events that you can't bring the kids? You've only mentioned the brunch besides the wedding itself. Why can't the kid sit with any of the grandparents during the ceremony? And you can watch the kids yourself at the brunch. What else is going on?[/quote]

- Welcome party on Thursday night
- Rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, post-rehearsal dinner party on Friday night. For close family and friends, there is also a lunch on Friday (for the women) and separate activity for the guys. 
- Ceremony, reception, after party on Saturday night. During the day on Saturday, DH and I will be with the wedding party because we’re in the wedding. So for me I assume that means hair/makeup starting sometime mid-morning, plus photos at some point etc.
- Big brunch on Sunday morning for all wedding guests[/quote]

This is insane.  People get a wedding DAY, not a wedding weekend.  I’d skip Thursday and Sunday, but that’s me.  I wouldn’t have agreed for both my DH and I to be in the wedding party for a 4 day wedding celebration with kids these ages.  Four days is a lot of time for little kids to be off their schedule with distracted parents trying to participate in all these wedding events.  But what’s done is done, so bring the nanny.[/quote]
