We have the right not to love weddings, we have the right to do not wish the presence of children at such an eventand we have the right not to want to invite them to our big party, especially when it is his marriage.
And we also have the right to have our will respected, no offense to those who completely ignore it.
On Reddit, the experience newlyweds have had can make people cringe (or make them want to throw sugared almonds in their faces).
The bride explains that she has made the decision not to invite her guests’ children to their wedding, for economic reasons:
” My husband and I made it clear that our marriage would be childless. I have a cousin who has eight children; Our family members and friends all have two or three children.
Children are generally very nice – the main problem was the price. Our room charged the same price for children over 2 and adults, $250 per person. Would have doubled the price and our room wasn’t big enough for all the kids “.
Children not invited to the wedding, but landed anyway
On Reddit, explains the bride they proposed many solutions for concerned parents, such as extending dinner the day before so that the children can have some fun, but also hiring five (5!!) babysitters to take care of the thirty or so children of parents who could not find a nursery. The children were kept in the house of the bride’s in-laws, not far from the wedding venue.
A good compromise, which is not always found in childless marriages.
Yet despite this, the guests defied the bans (and went against the wishes of their inviters) and they brought their lovely offspring back to marriage.
Has it gone down the drain? YES. Obviously.
From kids to marriage, what could possibly go wrong?
Almost everything. Also in her Reddit post, the bride explains that the parents refused to allow their children to be taken with their other children to their intended home, and they typed a scandal.
The user remembers:
” My husband was called in to handle the situation; he said they could stay as long as the kids didn’t cause trouble and the parents paid their dues. The wait team even quickly set up a table for the kids. »
Things kept getting out of hand during the ceremony, the children running and screaming everywhere, then during the meal where they would throw food everywhere, as well as on the bride’s dress, before hiding under her petticoats at the risk of the drop.
The bride is at her wit’s end:
” My bridesmaids pointed out to me that the food they threw ended up on my wedding dress, and that’s when I’ve had enough. I gave the “look” to my husband who collected the children, took them to their parents and asked them to leave permanently. »
A salty bill, and which remains unpaid
After the wedding, the bride and groom decided to send the bill to the parents who had brought their children despite the ban.
” After the wedding, and this is where we could go wrong, we sent the bill to the three couples with a letter telling them that we had got on well with them and reminding them that they had agreed to pay their uninvited children’s share.
Two paid couples; they were sorry and also said they understood why we couldn’t include the children. Of course the couple with the two rambunctious children refused to pay as we asked them to leave before the cake.
Instead of apologizing, we received an angry call. All I said was they must have been glad I didn’t send them the laundry bill for the dress. My husband also said it was the end of their friendship. »
Conclusion: in Rome, we do as the Romans do, e on childless marriages, we do not enforce children. Well, unless you think parents were within their rights…
