The story of one bride is going viral after she asked Reddit users if kicking out a couple and their two kids from her “child-free” wedding was wrong.
The post was anonymous, but has gotten over 1,500 comments.
She stated in her invitations that no children were allowed to come to her wedding last month.
One couple (who are long-time family friends) ended up bringing their baby and a toddler.
The bride said she “let it slide” during the ceremony, but at the reception, she had her wedding planner “politely request they have someone pick up their kids from the adults-only reception and party.”
In her post she wrote:
“I mean, everyone was drinking and loud and rowdy and a crying child and another little one running around was not part of the plan. (The infant already had to be taken out once during the wedding ceremony because of fussiness and the toddler was, from what I could see, already appearing cranky).”
After an argument, the bride finally just kicked them out.
She also wrote, “According to my mother, everyone was talking about it and I guess enjoying a little dramatic entertainment.”
The bride then asked if it was wrong to make them leave.
One commented: "A wedding should be 100% whatever the couple getting married wants.”
Another said to some putting that on an invitation is rude but they don't see it as rude. You just have to put it on the invitation so that people know.
**My thoughts**
I had a child free wedding (other than cousins who were involved in the ceremony) because of the cost. I have a large family and I would have LOVED all the kids to come to the wedding but the cost of food, chairs, linen and drinks can get pretty high!
So I do not think she was wrong for doing that because I think she probably only got and RSVP for 2 and so there were not seats or plates for the children. Maybe she should have posted more details LOL
