Children At Wedding Receptions

Courtney,

You have some wonderful points but please try to use some punctuations. It is very hard to follow your paragraphs that have no periods or commas.

Thanks.!,(?:"

Why is this posting in the wrong place each time?

I will not be commenting on this thread following this post because I am embarrassed myself that I have let it get this far. Both you two, Maria and Courtney, are obviously very immature. This whole issue comes down to the fact that the day should be based around the bride and the groom and what they want. You`re right, if I had kids then I would probably want them at my wedding but due to the fact that I`m not married yet, I don`t have any kids. I choose to do it in a particular order. And, how did you two get off on the whole "wasted" thing. What makes you think I want to get wasted on my wedding night? Once again, SO immature. Are you two very young or just uneducated? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion-you keep yours and I will keep mine just them same. But, a little advice: quit with the rude name calling-it makes you seem incredibly childish and only hands me a good laugh. As I said before, write back all you would like, I choose not to take part in this anymore, mainly due to the fact that I can`t understand half of what you two write because the entire paragraph is full of misspelled words and run-on sentences.

First of all, there is a whole lot of assuming and no one is actually reading what is being said. Hillary said, that it was tacky for you to assume that it is okay to invite your children to someone`s wedding. I also do not feel that children should be at a wedding that includes any type of drinking or bar. If that is the case, it should be okay to take children to a bar. I believe that Courtney has a point as well. Having an 8 month old and being invited to things is hard for a first time Mom. I never left my daughter. I didn`t go to a few events because my daughter was my first responsibility. I was very happy for the host, couple or whomever but I was also happy with my decision. I sent my congrats and a gift but I stuck to my decision. I never felt it was okay for me to invite my child to a childless reception, I do feel that it is not only tacky but very rude. No one has to love my child but me and no one is going to love my child like I do. I must say this, tearing each other apart on here is very childish. Everyone has a right to their opinion and their feelings. I am sure that we are all adults and this is America where we have the freedom of speech and a right to our opinions. Have a Blessed day, wonderful ceremonies and long-lasting and loving marriages (all of you). God Bless

I just got married May 13th of this year. My wedding was beautiful! I was so concentrated on my new husband to be I didn`t notice anything but him during the ceremony. I was told there was a little rucuss going on but I never even noticed. I also had a upscale reception afterwards which children of all ages attended. If you ask me, it was more fun with them than without! If you say you don`t want any children around then I would take it you don`t like children and don`t plan on having any.

P.S. I forgot to add there was no drinking involved at my reception. I think it would be acceptable for children if all that was being served was a glass of champagne for a toast. I wouldn`t take my child to a reception with an open bar. That`s all. Have a nice day

The dialogue on this message board thus far has been absolutely absurd. I find it quite ridiculous that any of you would have the audacity to call Hilary tacky, and the nerve to advise her to not bare children of her own. I actually feel sad for YOUR children, as they seem to have a very pathetic and cold mother that lacks respect for others and their opinions. Again, it is Hilary’s day 100% and if she chooses to not invite children then invited guests need to respect that fully. Also, I find it disturbing that the idea of leaving your child/children with a babysitter for a mere few hours is not an option; it’s a healthy experience for not only you but the child too.

Also, it is quite obvious to me why Hilary called you two uneducated! Not only did one of you misspell her name, but you two also show no sign of grammatical knowledge. If you both did graduate from school then I apologize, as it is quite apparent that the educational system failed you both. I wish Hilary the best with her wedding, and I’m sure it will be a beautiful and peaceful affair.
