So from the beginning of our wedding planning FH and I made the decision to keep everything adults only. My sister, who is a bridesmaid, is seeing someone, and this man has a child.
A few months ago she texted me asking if they could bring this child to the wedding. I said no. Then she asked if they could bring him to the rehearsal dinner. I again said no. We aren't having a ring bearer or a flower girl...there are no children involved in this wedding at all. I told her that FH and I want to keep everything adults only, and not only that, there is no reason for them to bring this child. She got defensive saying that her boyfriend wants to be able to spend time with his son at some point over the weekend and if they can't bring him to the wedding then they want to at least bring him to the rehearsal.
I called my dad after she texted me about this and he told me to tell her that I'm sorry, but FH and I want everything adults only, and if she can't do this one thing I'm asking then she can come to the rehearsal by herself so that her boyfriend can spend time with his son, and that I can't give in to her and not allow anyone else to include their children.
My question is: is it wrong of me to make that demand? I don't want to be mean, and it's not as if I don't like this kid, but we just don't want kids involved. My sister actually just got engaged to this man, so does that make it more "necessary" to have him at the rehearsal?
