[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've only ever attended two kid-free weddings in my life, and in both cases nobody in the bride's or groom's immediate family HAD children. They were also weddings where the bride was wealthy. I grew up with a large extended family with midwest roots and of course weddings and funerals [b]always included children, I don't remember any disruptions at any of those weddings, [/b]And we have reunions as well. For some people it's more of a society event and for others its a family event. It is what it is. [/quote]

Well maybe you have a very well behaved family, or maybe your memory isn't so great.   
Not all kids are well behaved, and not all parents know/want to remove them when that happens.

My husband's brother got married many years ago, and their sister had a son that was just under two.   During the reception, he ran around and SCREAMED.   The bride's brothers were trying to give a nice speech, and our nephew just kept running and screaming--right in front of them.   They even kind of paused for a second--to give my SIL a moment to come pick up her son, but she didn't.   She just sat in her seat, giggled, and said "He is just SO precious!"

People that don't want kids at their wedding are trying to avoid this.   They have seen this type of behavior at other weddings, and have family members with kids that they can see doing this...so the easiest thing is to just say "no kids invited."[/quote]
