Wedding drama: No children, please
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My friend has a daughter who will be married in the Spring. Like any important event there’s lots of planning to be done and opinions to consider.
Here is the low down on the wedding so far: My friend is paying for the 125 guests that are invited. The extra money need for the 40 guests, the groom’s mother wants to add, will be paid by the groom’s parents. So far so good… sort of.
Here’s the dilemma: My friend and her daughter do not want any children to attend except those that are in the wedding. I’m not going to condemn it or condone it. That is simply what they want. They have their reasons and we’ll leave it at that. The groom and his parents, on the other hand, want to invite a number of children (around 11 kids ranging in age from 6 -10 ) who are family members, cousins and such.
My friend doesn’t want to be difficult, but this is one thing she and her daughter really want to stick to. At the moment, they are kind of at an impasse, and could use some thoughts on the matter. What is your advice, and have you ever been involved in a situation similar to this one?
