Re: Why are some people weird about babies and weddings?

  • I'm a no babies or kids at weddings vote.  I agree with the person who wrote that there are a lot of parents who don't set boundries or behavior expectations for their kids.  I mean really, today it's a bottle of shampoo on the floor but what happens when they are teenagers?  I'm a teacher and I deal with that all day at work, I don't want to have to deal with it on my night to enjoy.  I don't hate babies or kids, I love them and working with them and because of that I want a grown up night.

    Also, it's my wedding and I'm paying for it and I don't have the budget to invite family, friends and all of their kids.  I know I will make a couple of exceptions but it is because of their relationship to me and my fiancee.  If my bm are preggers for the wedding, great.  I can't wait to start my family after the wedding too.  I don't think of it as stealing the spotlight, more an example of where me and my friends are at in our lives right now. 

    One thing I've realized after being engaged is that everyone has an opinion and thinks it's okay to dictate it to you whether you have asked or not.  I have heard so many "you should do" or "you know what would be great" and my favorite "at my wedding we did".    I'm learning to bite my tongue and smile.  Let the biddies be and do what I want any way.

  • I'm having a rodeo wedding. I hear that bulls are dangerous to babies, so I'm not inviting them.

  • Thank you Cew. It's good to know that I'm not alone in feeling that sweet, sweet death would be preferable to the mindnumbingness that is this thread.

    Yikes Heels! Thanks for not posting the pics, and I definitely get the point. :)

  • [QUOTE]but there are some snarky responses on this board.[/QUOTE]

    <div>In all fairness here, most of the snide and "snarky" response are from those that WANT kids at weddings, and they are either mocking or straight up insulting those that choose to have adult only events. Majority of the time, people are not having adult only weddings out of some hatred for children, but for other very legitimate reasons (the most common being cost...). What's it to everybody else if somebody doesn't want kids at the ceremony/reception? No need to be so mean to each other :(</div>

  • The other day, I caught a baby spray painting a bunch of crap on the side of my house. I kicked his ass.

  • How long does a thread have to get before our mod is allowed to say "We beat this thread's great grand children to death multiple times.  It's time to lock it an move on?"

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

  • I'm hoping the answer to your question is 12 pages.
  • I was hoping for 10 :(  I lose.

  • I think the people who want kids at their wedding are getting WAY too pissed that ones that don't.  I will only be having 2 children at my wedding - my two half-brothers (one will be 4, the other will be 3). (And yes, I love children....but, no, I won't be having any of my own.)

    I simply think that a seated dinner reception, where alcohol is served, is not a place for children - especially young children running around. If they're under 15, they're not invited. And btw, when my stepmother's sister got married, there were over 20 young children, running around, playing games, crawling on the dance floor, knocking arrangements over - it was a disaster. I can't even imagine my day going like that.

    And to the person(s) who mentioned that no matter what anyone says, a marriage is about families coming together - well, not everyone believes this. You only need 5 things to get married: a bride and groom (or two grooms and two brides), the officiant, a marriage license, and a witness. Everything else is moot. It is indeed wonderful to share your day with the people you love and who love you, but many of us believe that in the end - it's about you and your intended. That's it.

    To the person who originally asked the question about babies - it's YOUR day. Do what YOU want. If, at the end of the day, you know a screaming child at your ceremony will haunt you for the rest of your lives, by all means, make other arrangements for the child. But, if you know that in a couple of years, it won't really matter, then go ahead. The day belongs to you and your fiance. Period.
  • I think that baby would be fun at a wedding.

  • Our reception site has a downstairs game area. We're hiring a babysitter so kids can go have kid fun when they're done with dinner and bored with their parents, and then we can maybe spend some quality time with our friends and family.
  • I agree that pregnant BMs are so cute.  I don't mind pregnant at all.  Loud, abnoxious, ill-behaved, roukus causing children are not invited.  I want to remember the music and the mood and the moment, not a screamin' mee-mee that wouldn't shut up and the parent who wouldn't remove them.  No thanks!
