No Kids at a Wedding

The bride and groom were sweet. My bridesmaid dress fit perfectly. The weather was perfect. The food was delicious. The music was excellent. The hotel provided a shuttle and escort, free breakfast, and a generous supply of ice. <br><br>I had a great time, and enjoyed everyone I talked to.<br><br>Why? Because there were no children at the wedding. The bridesmaids didn't have to worry about their families; we could all enjoy the weekend without having to find a sitter for the night. The bride and groom didn't have to worry about kids getting bored, tired, or overwhelmed. We could dance and drink without worrying.<br><br>There were only two babies, and they both slept through the reception.<br><br>I have been to weddings with many children. I've learned the hard way to always ask if a reception is kid friendly. I love kids, but I don't want them at weddings. Neither do a lot of other people. <br><br>If you are getting married-consider an adult only wedding. If you are a guest at a wedding-please don't bring unexpected children. Put yourself in the other guests' shoes, who paid $200-500 minimum to attend.<br><br>Edit-I would like to say that I've never been to a wedding that didn't allow breast feeding/pumping. The babies on this wedding were at a babysitter off site.
