I know someone who had a dying parent at their wedding.  They were concentrating on their dying parent.  One or two guests did not understand because they were bitter about their own parent having died right before their own wedding; and they wanted to make some kind of statement at someone else's wedding.  Over 95% of the invitees were understanding about no children; people with children found another plan; and everyone was happy to spend time with the dying parent.  Not everyone is as selfless, but this particular bride and groom knew a nice, considerate, decent bunch of people.   Everyone got to see the parent at one last formal event.  They understood it took precedent over a childs first (!) formal event.  It was a perfect day in every way.  Honestly, it was the most beautiful couple I ever saw, inside and out, then- or since.

Why wouldn't you have a terminally ill parent at your wedding?  Of course, you would, but this is apples and oranges.  Children today are spoiled brats, for the most part, and parents let them do whatever they want,  I did not want children at my wedding or reception but I did want elderly relatives, irrespective of their health.  One aunt even had Altzheimer's but she also had a nurse with her and, for the most part, she stayed in the present.  Again, apples and oranges.[/quote]
