[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My own dd is having a no kids wedding (aside from her 7yo sister and the ring bearer). It's her and future dh's choice.

I had kids at my wedding, that was MY choice.

I do understand not having anyone to watch the kids-if my cousins had a no kid wedding, I would not have been able to go because anyone who'd watch the kids, would be AT the wedding.[/quote]

That's weird. If you don't want kids at the reception, why include them in the ceremony?[/quote]

It's not weird...the flower girl is my 7yo dd (same mom and dad) and the ring bearer is her fiance's nephew. Of course the bride's SISTER, who is a child, will be there![/quote]

A wedding doesn't magically become appropriate for kids because of the blood tie between the bride or groom and the kid.

Ring bearers are ridiculous, but it's especially goofy to decide that there is One Chosen Nephew who needs to be there and any other young relatives would ruin things.

Have whatever wedding you like, but apply a little logical consistency. [/quote]

Oh good grief- if this sort of thing bothers you so much, just decline if you get an invite to a wedding with this arrangement.

My youngest cousin is getting married this summer and is including all the kids but it’s a big outdoor space.  Her brother got married last year and it was a smaller, not kid friendly space and it was a no kids wedding.  Totally fine! We have a large family and the number of kids grows every year.  [/quote]

I don’t understand the idea that a wedding is inappropriate for kids. Perhaps the reception. But the wedding? Maybe you don’t want kids there but I don’t think it’s a matter of appropriateness. [/quote]
