We all know the saying, family comes first, well apparently not in this case for this wedding. A wedding day is not only special for the bride but also for the entire extended family who may have traveled hours and miles to be there. Obviously there is a lot of time, effort, and logistical planning that goes into this special day that even one small detail can screw it up for the bride and groom. Another crucial part of wedding planningcomes with the invitations of who is being address/invited and who is not… When it comes to having children at the wedding, Is it too much to ask to have a separate play room for them while the ceremony is taking place? I mean usually when we think of weddings and look back at picture we typically see cute little kids all dressed up. Who would be the flower girl and ring boy without having the little one's around at the wedding?

In todays AITA post, OP tells us how he brought his 10 month old baby to his cousins child-free wedding because he didn't feel comfortable leaving the baby alone. Read more to see how his own family reacts at the wedding.

    Font - My cousin lives a 6 hour drive from me and the rest of our family. A few months ago we all drove over there for his wedding. Due to limited space, no children were invited to the wedding except the bride's young nieces and nephews.

    Interesting situation…

    Font - My baby was 10 months old at the time and I wasn't comfortable leaving him alone in an unfamiliar place with a stranger, which was a babysitter that my other cousins hired for their own kids. So I decided to bring him to the wedding. I wrote on the RSVP that I was bringing him but he would be sitting on my lap and I would bring my own food for him. My cousin didn't say anything so I assumed that he was OK with it.

    Font - My baby cried at the ceremony but I quickly took him out of the room. At the reception I had him with me the whole time in a body carrier. He didn't make much of a fuss and I thought everything was OK.

    Font - After the wedding my aunt (groom's mom) confronted me and told me that I was rude for bringing my baby without permission. I explained that I wrote on the RSVP what I was planning to do but my cousin didn't object. She said that my cousin and his bride had a problem with it but the bride didn't want to start any drama because she doesn't know me well.

    Font - My other cousin's baby was 7 months old at the time and my aunt said that he had no problem leaving his baby with the "certified" babysitter and I should of done the same. And some of my cousins were upset because they thought that the groom gave me special treatment by letting me bring my baby and making them leave their kids with a babysitter. I didn't mean to start any drama. AITA?

    Font - brainybae 2 mo. ago 3 & 5 More € Partassipant [3] YTA - your baby literally did the thing that the bride/groom wanted to avoid - disrupt the ceremony. You had plenty of time to find a babysitter or other family member to watch your kid while you went to the wedding but decided that you were just above the rules.

    Font - cactuspainter 2 mo. ago No you don't understand, OP's presence is such a gift that no one minds that her baby interrupted the ceremony!

    Font - No_Stairway_Denied - 2 mo. ago But it was cool because the baby didn't need a seat or a meal! Because THAT is why they didn't want kids at their wedding. Everone knows that infants eat all of the prime rib.

    Font - tabrazin84 2 mo. ago Partassipant [1] Completely agree. If you want to go against the "rules" of the wedding, you actually call and ask. You don't write it on the RSVP. YTA OP. (And I have two children.)

    Font - SeldomSeenMe - 2 mo. ago Asshole Enthusiast [7] Classic I wanna have my cake and eat it too. She didn't want to miss the "once-in-a-lifetime wedding ceremony", but wasn't willing to show respect for the people who gave her this opportunity. I bet she'll play the victim when people stop inviting her after this.
