28-year-old threatens to call off wedding after fiancé's family insists on bringing kids to a "no kids" wedding

There is nothing wrong with not wanting a bunch of screaming, uncontrollable children at your wedding.

There seems to be a divided response regarding the appropriateness of inviting kids to a wedding. Your mileage may vary on this issue, depending on family expectations and your own perceptions of how a wedding should or shouldn't be. The truth of the matter is that, at the end of the day, you should not really have much of a say in the matter unless it's your wedding that we're talking about. Otherwise, you might be better off keeping your opinions to yourself and allowing the people who are actually getting married to do whatever they want.

In this instance, however, the central disagreement created conflict between the bride and groom. Previously, they had agreed that they didn't want misbehaving kids running around during their 30-minute ceremony. However, the groom's family had far more children than her family did, and they were all under eight years old.

At first, they thought they reached a compromise that would be mutually beneficial. They arranged to have a children's room in their church with babysitters so that the kids could be properly taken care of during the ceremony. This way, family members could be reunited with their kids and could take them to the reception. Unfortunately, this solution did not seem to satisfy the groom's family, and the consequences ended up driving a wedge between the couple.
