I wouldn't dream of not having children, I personally believe weddings are about bring a family together as well as a couple and children are the future of that. I don't gripe when people don't have children but 1. Be thoughtful of those with kids. We are going to a wedding this weekend that is on the Thursday at 430 which means in order to go we have to find a sitter in the middle of the day, the sitter can't be a relative who you would trust to pick up the kids )plus they are all going) friends are at work do they can't and you can't get a teen to donut because thy can't transport the kids and they have school the next day. Bust as a bride I feel she cant be angry when people don't attend
