If you're not married yet, have you ever wondered if your wedding will be 'family-friendly' or 'adults-only?' It's not an easy topic for couples to answer, but it's something you'll have to talk about eventually.

While you don't want to offend any of your guests, having newborns, toddlers, or even older children attend your wedding ceremony and reception can create some difficulties. You and your partner must resolve this issue before you begin planning your wedding invites.

And one more thing - it is a contentious one. There are individuals who agree that all wedding guests should be entitled to bring children.

However, accommodating family on your wedding day is frequently more difficult than anticipated as there are several aspects to consider. For starters, children can be unpredictable, so you'll need to rely on their parents to take command.

You should also consider how having children in attendance would influence your wedding budget. You might need to plan for specific childcare services in addition to a greater overall headcount and the OP of today's story had it all figured out.

But the only exception was his cousin's daughter who happened to be entitled and selfish. The OP didn't want her at his wedding for good reasons and you can read all about it as you keep scrolling below.

Here is the story's headline
