[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can always skip a wedding if you already have plans. It's not rude at all.

For all you people  who get enraged by no-kids weddings, do you do anything without your kids?  Are they allowed to go to sleepovers alone or to overnight field trips or camps? Do you ever go out to dinner without your kids?  Why all the rage towards an adults-only evening?  [/quote]

You are projecting, no one is enraged in this thread. Weddings are a social obligation with bland food, bland music, expensive and a hassle. I try to minimize time without either parent, or a trusted family member, for my kids. A concert to my favorite band, i'll make an exception. An amazing weekend getaway to Napa, ok. My husband's cousin's kid's wedding, nope not prioritizing that over my kids - the B&G didn't so why should i?[/quote]

I agree. I see weddings as the joining of 2 families and think it’s silly to make it difficult for family to actually attend, or not invite all members of your family no matter their ages. (I think it’s different to include children who are in the family and invite only adults outside the family , for what it’s worth). If the couple doesn’t see their wedding the same way that’s fine, but it shows me they don’t prioritize their event as the joining of 2 families and the celebration of those 2 families, so I don’t feel any obligation to attend as a distant family member.
