It's either A or D) all those
other children are noisy and uncouth but
my little wunderkind is amazing and perfect and everyone should see em and everyone should love em.
This is one of the disadvantages of getting married after other friends/family. Outside of the underused solution to all wedding problems (eloping), I think that couples should get married in bars instead of churches. Anyone can go to a church/synagogue/mosque, but bars have bouncers and check ID's.
How much would it cost to rent out Skybar on a Saturday afternoon? Guests stay at the hotel, catering by Asia de Cuba, after the (short) reception, your guests can stay for the aspiring models or decamp to the Strip for fun and frolic.
I think the only solution to the whole children at weddings thing is to have a chldren's room for them. But with babies, toddlers, and just plain kids, that would be expensive.
I once had a co-worker of Mexican extraction react with shock that I wouldn't want kids at my wedding. She claimed that as Mexican weddings were all about family, you had to have all family members there, including their kids, and if that made for a noisy wedding, so much the better. That sort of scenario makes even Salma Hayek seem unattractive. A two-hour Catholic wedding filled with munchkins? Does this really happen? Hoe do people get through them?
