No kids allowed at the wedding is on father's day!

[IrisRuby]

My husband is best man at his close friends wedding and for years we always thought they would be kids at the wedding as our friends do like kids.

Last year I was at a wedding with this couple and the wedding we went to had no kids (apart from close family children) but did allow babies and I over heard the bride to be tell DH close friend" well I think it was very good of her to allow babies because I'm telling you now I'm not" I was abit taken back by this.

several months went by and no mention of if kids were allowed which I found odd because normally people would know well in advance if not to arrange child care. I just sent a text saying I'm looking at booking a hotel are the kids coming so I know how many to book for just to see if they were allowed. I got a text back saying nothing under teens allowed as I want everybody to enjoy a day with their partner and she said she doesn't think it would be child friendly.

I was upset by this and so was my kids as we have been talking about the wedding for so long all of our other friends going are also gutted by this too. To make matters worse I've just realised that it falls on father's day. My husband is great dad and we are both big on spending time together as a family.

My husband friend has to run everything past her she is very much the boss. So it's no surprise he has had no input into the wedding, but I just thought of all days why fathers day with no kids allowed. We both agree it's going to taint the day for us now.

A church wedding is a church wedding. It has nothing to do with non church weddings.

You have literally said that anyone who saying Sunday weddings are usual, is just wrong. They can say it all they like but it’s wrong and laughable.

But when you say you live near a Church (which doesn’t account for anywhere near all weddings) and someone you know works at a venue that rarely does them, it’s factual and valid.

Because you said so?

I've never been to a wedding that wasn't on a Saturday (sheltered life, I know) or one that wasn't in church, other than a Hindu wedding.
However, my DC have certainly been to Sunday weddings and they've said they find it a bit of a pain because of work the next day. Which, I suppose, makes them less popular but hence cheaper.
And, thinking about it, the elder one has never taken her DC (18 months) to a wedding - her choice as she couldn't see a baby/toddler getting much out of it. When her baby was very little her husband was a best man and she went to the service but then came home as the baby could do without feeding for the hour or so a wedding service takes.
I guess if it had been further away she wouldn't have gone.

I did a quick Google to check on popular days to get married and statistically, the most popular day by a long way is a Saturday, followed by a Friday then a Thursday.

Sunday weddings do happen but they are still far from the norm, as has been mentioned a few times on here.

No one said Sunday weddings are more common or popular that Saturdays.

Simply not usual or very rare. They happen. Quite often.

Not sure why it’s so much of an issue.

The statistics show that they aren't common though. Sunday weddings are as popular as weddings on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I'll find the link later.

please don’t waste you time finding that link!

I agree they are less common. In this country, the most popular day is a Saturday. Who is arguing that ? I was simply saying it’s not that unusual to have a Sunday wedding. It’s not like there are only a handful of sunday weddings per year.

If I received a wedding invitation that was going to be held at Peppa Pig world with no kids invited, I’d say that was “unusual”.

Anyway I think the OP is long gone!!

There’s literally thousands of weddings that happen on a Sunday. Every year.

No one is arguing that Sunday is more popular than other days. I have been to plenty on a Friday.

But it’s not unusual or rare.

It's not a new trend. I got married in 1991 & had no children with 3 exceptions. Friends who had a 5 month old baby. My 6 year old bridesmaid. And a 19 month old niece who shouted all through our vows. Exactly what I had wanted to avoid. Also my wedding, my rules.

People saying their wedding their day sound ridiculous. More men invited to Father’s Day weddings without kids need to grow a pair and tell their wives to go solo and then spend the day with their kids. Imagine the kids spending Father’s Day with a baby sitter!! What a narsasistic bride!! 🙄

It’s obviously about saving money!! 🤷‍♂️

Well maybe you should pay better attention! This shit matters to some people and to dismiss it just show how narrasistic you are!

The fact that its Fathers Day is extremely important. And to dismiss it is insanely narsassitic of you. This would never happen on Mother’s Day!

Well most people would. You obviously weren’t raised well!!

Well this wedding is happening on Father’s day so…..🤷‍♂️

Are you ok?
