[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 236067, member: 1233"] I tihnk your future daughter in law is WAY out of line. One flower girl is allowed to come to the reception but the other is not? That is TOTALLY RUDE. Of course the kids know they are missing the party. They get to go to the part where they have to be dressed up and quiet, then they have to miss the food and the party? What kid wouldn't feel left out, and for the flower girl, used? I would tell them that if my children are not welcome, then I will not be there. If my son did this he would expect me to welcome his bride privately and explain to her that we are a family and if we cannot ALL celebrate the wedding together then we will be home having a nice afternoon and raising a toast to the "Happy Couple". I will say that I had a babysitter for my son when by bff from childhood got married. But he was only 7 months old. The bride said I should bring him and her Grandmother would watch him for me, but both my husband and I though that her Grandmother should be there to help her celebrate, not to watch my son! But with the children no longer infants, if they are not welcome, then I would not feel welcome. We have a family friend who had this same situation come up. Her son married a very controlling woman (NOT a woman like his mom, who is the sweetest woman on earth!). This woman said that no one under the age of 18 was welcome at the ceremony or reception. She wasn't going to have "her" day "ruined" by a child's presence. The dad raised this son from toddler hood, even though he is not his bio father. The dad and mom of the groom stayed home with their 15year old daughter and their 10 year old daughter. The mom and dad of the bride also stayed home with the bride's younger siblings. the "happy couple" were actually looking for a way to cut their parents out of this "happy" day. And the bride was SHOCKED when she got pregnant and her mom and mother in law both refused to throw her a baby shower! I honestly would have to say I cannot attend and my child cannot be in the wedding if my children are not ALL welcome at the reception. Now I would expect the best behavior from my kids through the entire wedding and reception. (And as with my bff's wedding, I would take the gameboy away from my husband before the ceremony, LOL.) What on earth would motivate someone to cut their family (or family-to-be) out of this ceremony that blends two people into a family? [/QUOTE]
