    One of H's aunts chocked on a green bean at our rehearsal dinner. My FIL had to do the heimlich and we thought we were going to have to call 911. 

     I know that's random, but my point is that you just can't control everything that happens at your wedding, reception, etc. Anything could happen that would disrupt things. Worrying yourself over stuff like that is just a huge waste of time.

    Erica, I know you spoke with your grandfather already, but if you are having programs can you just put something in them about where a cry room (not sure what the church name for it is) is located? I'd think that would tell a guest that they should take the baby out of the sanctuary if it starts to cry, without someone going and singling them out. I've seen that on wedding and regular church service programs.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Screaming Babies : I think I was pretty clear on why I think this is reasonable.  In my church and several others I have attended the pastor graciously and diplomatically lets the congregation and guests know what they can expect and how they should behave essentially during the ceremony.  Including suggesting that out of respect for others who are trying to enjoy the service/ceremony that they should turn off cel phones and remove any children who become fussy to the lobby/crying room/nursery.  What is the big freakin deal?  <strong>This assumption that EVERYONE knows better than to allow their child or cel phone or loud converstaion or whatever to not interrupt an important event is just ridiculous.</strong>

    I agree with you there, but I think I only saw one post that made this assumption. My point is not that people will know better and that's why the pastor should not get involved. My point is that having him lecture people about how to care for their children would make everyone involved look and feel like complete turds because it's just an ahole move.

    The fact that you would have a major problem with a crying baby (something you really have no control over if you've invited them), is asinine to me. Sure, it's not ideal, but getting yourself all worked up over something that hasn't even happened and that you can't control is just a complete waste of time.
