weddings are about families, not only the couple

at some of the crap people expect their friends and families to put up with for their weddings.
how can you leave a newborn behind? breast or bottle fed?

Stitch Indian weddings are about the family, the bride just turns up....
English weddings are a lot more expensive in how they're set up don't you think, and it is generally the bride and groom who have to fork out for the celebrations....

I agree that weddings ought to be about families. It is the joining of two families after all.

Only done two childless weddings, out of loads and loads over the years. The two without children just didn't have same good feeling about them - not for me.
