While it’s true that weddings are usually family affairs, it’s also understandable that some happy couples prefer to keep their nuptials an adults-only occasion. Kids can be a noisy and unpredictable addition to a stressful day where a lot can go wrong. Even parents who get married have their limits when it comes to bringing children along. There is a lot to consider.

This is something that one bride and groom thought about carefully when planning their wedding. They thought it was best to make it child-free, but they also decided that they wanted their 11-month-old daughter there for a portion of the reception so they could take photos. A family friend took this as a signal that her young son would also be allowed to attend, but she couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s fair to say that this had a big impact on how the couple experienced their special day.
