We got married last week, and it was a great wedding, it really was....
But we were both very adamant on not having kids at the ceremony or reception. We addressed the invites correctly, had both sides of the family (or so we thought) tactfully and carefully spread the word during conversations.;...
My husband and I knew that my MIL was not 100% on board, but we were getting married in the French Quarter, St Pattys weekend, and not only did we not want kids there, but why would you want your kid there?
At the RD, my now husbands cousin mentioned that her hubby and kids were driving in the next day for the wedding. I asked very sweetly what her plans were for them for the wedding and reception. I also told her that I had alternative child care paid for, and that it was a local teacher who teaches with one of my BMs. She said she would figure it out- I couldn't push it anymore with her and stay tactful. I did not know what to do.
I called my MIL the next morning, and explained to her what was happening. She told me that I knew her stance on it, to drop the Bridezilla act and get over it. I did not have his cousins number, nor did he, and...she brought her kids- all 3 of them under 8. A few other rouge children cousins who were also not invited showed- only on their side though....
His parents boarded a cruise out of New Orleans the next morning and return tonight. I am so mad at his mother and at his cousin. My family and friends left their children at home, found/made arrangements and some, I hate to say, could not come because they could not work out arrangements. I am furious, and my husband is begging me to move on and just remember it for the lovely day it was. But we have fam and friends gently asking us why they could not bring theirs if others were there....
I know he will not address it with her, and I know its spilt milk, but I am so mad. I received an email from his cousin today asking for copies of pictures from our photog because her camera batteries died.
AAAHHH!!!!!!!
