Sounds like a wonderful solution for all concerned.
Most small children,today,Aren't well behaved enough to go to one and a reception.This is NOT an event which most children enjoy and don't want to be at.They also detract from where the attention SHOULD be centered...the bride and groom.
This has absolutely nothing to do with whether al baby "hates" children(where DO you people get this stuff from anyway?)or not! It is NEVER good etiquette to have small children at a wedding.
The guests having a good time was my priority.
My personaly preferences are usually to emphasize relationships over appearances by a long shot.
But I recognize that not everyone "rises" that sort of construction on extended families and weddings.
And, I personally believe a peaceful and beautiful wedding is a pretty reasonable priority for most couples to fixate on.
It was for me at my wedding, too. And most said they'd never attended a better, warmer, more fun, more beautiful wedding and reception.
But I do understand different priorities. And not all of them are horridly based.
Then I suggest that YOU know all the wrong people. :-)
Au contraire.... I know some of the best people in the world, but they aren't the ones who threw the dreadful weddings.
Formal weddings CAN be a lot of fun and not "stuffy" at all.
al baby's wedding isn't yours.He and his future wife should be allowed to have the kind of wedding they want to,without being insulted,just because they don't want small children there.
He asked for sound advice.
Considering family relations in relation to the importance of the perfect wedding script is not "unsound" advice.
We aren't talking about "PERFECTION";we're discussing etiquette and how to help al baby to not be blackmailed into doing something nobody wants.This isn't YOUR wedding.You aren't invited to it.You don't know the child nor the mother,who is a RAVING LIBERAL.
Considering that you don't know the etiquette of weddings at all,your advice is far from "sound".
no i wasen take that back
I'm sorry. Did something I said upset you nopardons?
It's your attitude.And this doesn't need popcorn.:-)
LOL Thank goodness, now I know where this beebers thing came from! Someone is playing games with us here!
Oh I disagree.... You started shouting, and that's entertaining on any day.
Do what my hubby and I did. Run away to Las Vegas and get married in one of a zillion chapels. No muss, no fuss!
You're easily entertained....LOL
But weddings can also be fun. :-)
'Easily entertained' is a lot more fun than 'easily annoyed' ~IMHO~ :~D
