[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Children at Weddings, NO! : Thank you! My point of 6wks, 6 months, 6 years old or 16 people should respect that. FMIL and FI is throwing a biotch fit about me stating "no kids" because my fi cousin's wife is currently pregnant and the baby will be 6 months around the wedding and they also have a 1 y/o and I said no exceptions. <strong>Fi and FMIL claims babies are the exceptions! BS!</strong>

Actually, while it's not required to make nursing babies/infants an exception you're kind of being heartless if you don't make the exception.  Does your FI's cousin's wife need to travel to get to your wedding?  If so, I can pretty much guarantee she's not going to come.

Heartless vs favoritism? I would go with heartless. Besides his cousin's children, in our circle of friends and family this year 7 babies been born. The local people will show up and see the kids there and would be pissed since they had to find a sitter. I don't see the problem? His cousin can make time to go oot all the time and now we have problem with them wanting to bring the kids to the wedding. This same cousin attended fbil wedding some months back and did not bring his wife or child, so what change now with our wedding? Is this a family reunion? No! We will see, but I hope his wife can come and my fi and I talked to our DOC about hiring a sitter company to watch the kids if need be, but I know someone will complain about that too.

You made that decision for a reason. Don't let someone else change your mind unless that's truly what you want. We are doing a no-kids wedding, and there is nothing anyone can say that would convince me that it's wrong. We are all adults and will appreciate a night out!

that's to bad   I would tell her i'm sorry but that's what me and my fh have decided and if that's the only reason why she won't come then she'll be missed but dont' let her bully u into something you don't want to do it's not like any child under the age of 10 will really remember your wedding anyway
