[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the PP who mentions family reunions - you need to schedule, arrange, plan and pay for a family reunion, if that is what you want.  Clearly, this is not what the bride and groom had in mind, and they are absolutely within their right.  Kind of abhorrent how appalled one or two of you are that the bride and groom's day isn't about you and your little one. [/quote]

Oh come on.  Most families are scattered all over the country.  How often do you expect people to take time off of work and fly out to get together?

A wedding isn’t the bride and groom’s “special day,” any more than a funeral is the deceased’s “special day.”  These events are partly about the event and partly family reunion.[/quote]

I love how many people want to impose their ideas of what "a wedding" is supposed to be.

Why should a bridal couple have to foot the bill for the family reunion?  What if a couple wants a small affair that they can afford without going broke, so they have a small wedding with just immediate family and a few friends.

People like you are the ones where the aunt and uncle that the bride hasn't seen since she was 3 or the second cousin that the groom has never met get upset that they weren't invited to come and dine on the bride and groom's dollar so that they can have a family reunion that they don't pay to attend.

If you want a family reunion, host a family reunion and foot the bill yourself.[/quote]
