[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have become so narcissistic. I guess I can understand it for people in their 20s. I got married at 25 and thought my wedding was a big deal (but didn’t exclude kids).  Now, pushing 50, I have more perspective. The chances to have the whole family/loved ones all together are few and far between. And nobody cares about a wedding being “perfect” - they won’t even remember it after a week. The fact that people don’t want children to “ruin” their day is sad. That just isn’t what it’s about. [/quote]

Well, you're old. Your perspective has changed. You don't know if you'll see everyone again. Young people plan the parties they want to have. Start hosting annual family reunions to scratch that itch.[/quote]
Late 40s is not old, but it’s a different perspective than 25. Plus it’s gross to use age as an insult. [/quote]

Agree it’s not old, and I’m late 40s myself, also married at 25, with a similar perspective. I wish we could have included children. The reality is that we couldn’t afford the wedding we wanted while inviting kids even with cuts like making it a daytime wedding etc, buffet not sit down - money was an issue for us. I don’t have regrets about making financial choices and not going into debt over a wedding.[/quote]
