I have a question about no kids at weddings.. I have 2 kids myself. At the wedding eldest will be over 4. Youngest will be 18months. Now tricky situation my boys haven't ever really been the centre of attention. My youngest first 3 months of his life was hard because my sister was dying of cancer. I would love our wedding day to not just be about me and my.partner but about our boys and them having their moment with everyone. Now here comes a long one...
I have two nephews but honestly they are really hard work, i have been to a wedding where the MOH two year old was screaming throughout alot of the day. Like full on screaming. That's just put me off having kids there apart from my own.
Am I unreasonable to request no kids under a certain age and just have it as my boys in the ceremony so they can have their moment and not get distracted by other kids?
But now with my nephews, I know I have them in my life since my sisters passed, but they really are full on, sometimes aren't great with my boys, quite controlling of my eldest whos very easy going. So I just worry they will do their normal things with him and distract him. Also I want my boys to have a bit of the spotlight which they never get. The attention on them for a change. I hope that makes sense. My family I dont think will react well to this, but if I have them, I have to have other kids as my partner has neices and nephews. (He's more than happy for them not to attend and I believe the parents will be fine) I just feel I'm in a bit of a pickle and guess I just want to hear if anyone else has been in a similar situation. Thanks sorry for the long post.
