want some kind of picture perfect wedding and think kids screaming or making a mess or running into guests is going to ruin that. Or maybe they just want a raunchy drunken debacle of a reception and think kids shouldn't be a part of that?
Their prerogative of course, but I have never witnessed a bad experience. Is it because the kids might be running amuck or throwing a tantrum? I personally think it's cute when I see them on the dance floor busting a move. They are so cute. A few times, I started dancing with them. It was fun because I can just be silly ðĪŠ
I can't believe they're still married but...bff's brother's second marriage happened when his daughter was about 6 and his son was about 4 (the bio mom was still in their lives but not much). At the reception, which was in the gym at the small Catholic school that everyone in the family had attended, the son was racing around and managed to fall and get a HUGE chunk of wooden bleacher wedged in either his lip or chin (I wasn't there so I no longer recall the exact details of the story). The poor kid needed the oversized splinter removed, and I believe he also needed stitches. The medical details aren't important...what IS important is bff's bro left his own reception to take his young, frightened, injured son to the ER--as he should--and his new bride, who we'll call Kay because that's her name and she needs to be called out, threw an absolute fit about her groom tending to his young, frightened, injured son rather than staying with her for the rest of the reception. To be fair, bff comes from a HUGE family, and her dad offered to take the boy to the ER but bff's bro didn't think that would be best for his son.
I saw an episode of TLC's "Four Weddings" in which one of the brides had a number of small children at the reception. They were shrieking and running around the dance floor and nearly upended a few elderly relatives who weren't all that steady on their feet. I imagine a few brides-to-be watching that show decided on a kids-free reception as well.
