I'm not literally engaged and planning a wedding here, its just something that came to mind. Obviously whoever you know has a lot less kids in their family than I do, it happens. Every single family function I go to I see kids running around screaming and throwing tantrums and its not something I want to deal with one day when I do get married. And yes, adults drink at cook outs and what not but it doesn't make it any less irresponsible. I would be ashamed of myself as a parent if I could not provide my child with a sober adult to look after them for one damn evening while I go out and enjoy myself as an adult. People who think their kids need to be glued to their hip and become everyone else's problem seriously have issues.
Well im talking about a beer or two doesnt bother me if I see it...personally I hardly ever drink so I wouldn't be drinking at all and my bf doesnt drink at all since he doesnt like the taste lol.
I never said anything about glued to hip lol...I dont think its good to have them attached to you at all times ether.
My family there is a lot less kids...im the only one of my 3 siblings that has a kid. And the kids are well behaved...as much as kids can be... they can get loud but if you tell them to sit down be quite they do.
You know for an idea if someone didnt want kids at the wedding but wanted the flower girl you could have an age limit like only kids 16 and above except for the flower girl...Parents and older kids can look after the one small one.
My boyfriend and I aren't heavy drinkers either, but sadly the same cannot be said for the rest of the world. Its not only the alcohal though, its just the fact that some people get totally distracted, drunk or sober, and leave their kids to run allover the place. As far as the whole flower girl concept goes, I'm not really sure it would bother me whether the flower girl was someone's teenage daughter or one of the bridesmaids, so long as someone throws some damn flowers. I'm not really sure exactly how traditional weddings work, but I would imagine that the flower girl being a little girl isn't all that important? It just doesn't seem like something that would really bother me, when that day comes.
A flower girl is a symbol of youth and fertility thats why its always a small child.
im planning my moms wedding she wants traditional so I have learned so much the past few months lol.
But if someone said they didnt want kids I wouldn't be offended I would find a sitter.
Understandable, but I'm not really one for symbols and other symbolic stuff. To me, a wedding is about two people publically and officially commiting themselves to eachother, it doesn't really matter that the flower girl be a little girl, not to me anyway. My mother is getting married soon too, next year march :D
People who bring their kids to weddings?
