My 2 friends got married recently. For context they have a 3 year old together who wasn't planned. Child is quite often 'palmed off' on family at the evenings or weekends which I feel so sorry for the child as she's a lovely little one. On the wedding day child was a flower girl so she was part of the ceremony. For the rest of the day they pretended she didn't exist. Child was meant to be looked after by a family member but she ended up following me around all day as she's best friends with my daughter. After the ceremony obviously there were the photos. Mums now shared the photos all over her Facebook. She isn't shy to share her child on Facebook so not like the lack of child photos is due to privacy. Child was in the whole wedding photos outside. She was also in one photo with grandma and mum and in one photo with grandparents, mum and dad. But that's it. No photo of the 3 of them at all. There were about 15 photos of the bridesmaids and bride. Tonnes of photos of groom and groomsmen. Photos of aunt, uncle and their kids as a family but no photos of them 3! Is this mad or is it me? No one came and got the child for a family photo. The mum and dad didn't send anyone to find her. The family didn't suggest they take her to go get photos with her parents. No one seemed to think about it (and to be fair I didn't think about it at the time but it's not my place anyway). I know child isn't really wanted by them but she's part of their family regardless! They can't just pretend like she doesn't exist. Like when she's older and she asks where she was in the wedding photos, what are they going to say? It's been winding me up so just seeing what others think!
