However, every bride has a right to the wedding she envisions.

Does that mean that every groom, potential guest, vendor, etc., has a duty to make the Princess Bride's vision a reality, regardless of every other consideration?

My thought as well...I guess the groom is just the guy who gets to pay for it all

I always cringe at the assertion of a “right,” even though it’s often just a figure of speech.

That said, having read the article, I think the lady is somewhat reasonable. She and her fiancé have planned a wedding and reception that are not amenable to the participation of children. It is reasonable for them to invite only adults, and it is reasonable for invitees to decline the invitation if they prefer not to attend.

She says the wedding is in New York City. If they live there, this is also reasonable, but if that’s their “destination,” I still think that’s rude.

In America, pretty much that.
