This is how to interpret any destination wedding. The bride and groom have every right to be married anywhere in the world they want but by doing so they are sending the message bolded above to others.[/quote]

Plus they sending an additional [i]we really don't want you to come but politeness tells us we must[/i] vibe of adding in another layer by saying elementary age children are not welcome? How big or how intimate is their wedding that children would be a burden?[/quote]

For some people, ALL children are a burden no matter the size or intimacy of the wedding. They are annoying, have to be supervised, usually need some sort of special dinner or acomodation and some don't have time for that. Your kid is not another person's responsibility to think of.[/quote]

Agreed!  Just came back from a vacation at a very nice resort in Hawaii.  Several "work rewards trips" were onsite.  One had a group dinner of 45-50 adults at the fanciest restaurant on site.  Many people had their kids with them.  We went for our dinner--these kids (6 boys age 5-8) we running around in the lawn in front of the restaurant screaming and wild.  They even chased a cat THrU the restaurant for 2-3 mins before the waitstaff finally had to say something.  Th e parents did nothing.  
It was obnoxious and rude to all the other guests who were trying to have dinner t this restaurant.  Th e parents didn't care and the kids were terrors.

Just one example of why people do not want kids at their weddings--many parents don't parent and don't expect their kids to behave [/quote]

Child free weddings are so much more enjoyable. We are more likely to decline to attend weddings with children. [/quote]
