Weddings seem like they have an uncanny knack for inviting all kinds of family drama to break out. It could be because you're bringing together various family members that should probably never find themselves in the same room as one another. Or, maybe you end up with a case of the perfectionist bridezilla, who has deluded herself into thinking that everything will work out perfectly on the big day. The point is that if you're attending a wedding, you can pretty much count on someone acting a fool or general wedding drama being unleashed at one point or another.

    Font - AITA for making my sister leave my wedding reception after her son acted up during my ceremony? Not the A-hole I got married this past Saturday. It was a very small affair with less than 70 people in attendance. I opted for a childfree wedding due to both costs and convenience. I like kids, just not at my wedding. Most people were fine with the childfree aspect. The wedding was announced a year in advance so most people could find accommodations.

    Font - The problem is my sister who was one of four bridesmaids. She has two boys, one is 2 and other is 5. Thursday she drops that her sitter fell through, and she asked for them to be allowed at the wedding. I felt pressured, but she begged for them to come. I told her as long as they behaved and her husband kept an eye on them.

    Font - She was late getting to the venue cause the boys were fussy getting ready, so she's only in a handful of the "getting ready" pics. Fine, ok. Then the ceremony itself happened, and my nephew (younger one) began to act up during the vows. My husband and I wrote our own, and about halfway through mine he begins to cry and fuss. My bil grabbed him and very awkwardly made his way out, with my older nephew behind telling his brother to shush. I had to restart my vows twice due to the disruption

    Font - After the ceremony itself my sister vanished for a while, so we were held up with wedding party photos again. After the pictures, my sister didn't even say anything, no apology, nada. After the first dances she finally came up and was like "haha sorry about [nephew], it was nap time! He's settled now." It was such a non apology and I was so upset. I told her I didn't like how dismissive she was of my wedding and how I broke my own rule to accommodate her family and she didn't seem to care

    Font - I'm not angry at my nephew. I'm angry at myself for bending on my childfree rules and my sister for everything, esp her half assed apology. I had to edit a lot of stuff to fit in the word limit let me know if I need to clarify anything. 8.3k 1.2k ↑, Share

    Font - NTA Shocked at the number of Yta replies here. I don't love traditional weddings, I don't understand not inviting kids, but it's YOUR DAY! You gave people a year of advanced notice and you actively tried not to be a bridezilla by accommodating your sister's kids. She should never have put you in that position. G Reply 4 1.5k 3

    Font - NTA. It's unfortunate she couldn't find accommodations, but couldn't her husband just have taken care of them at home?? You held up your wedding multiple times for it and honestly l'd want to be done with it all, too. She knew it was nap time and instead of having her child sleep it off somewhere with her husband, she brought the child to your vows so he could scream...like every child does when they're tired?? The wedding was over, she got to attend, that's really the end of it. The rece

    Font - NTA You asked that she keep the children quiet and yet they interrupted your vows at least 2 times. She was then late for getting pictures of the wedding party because (instead of her hubby taking care of the kids) she had to go make sure they were settled in. So she made you WAIT to enjoy your wedding until SHE was ready to have the wedding party pictures taking, holding up EVERYTHING because of her needs. Sounds like a stellar wedding.

    Smile - NTA She acted cluelessly. She should have been walking on egg shells for needing the exception but was completely nonchalant -- l'd be pissed too. Frankly - even if it was totally punitive she deserved it. G Reply + ...
