Depends on the parents and the kids. In my family, for one wedding, all the kids under ten were shuffled off to another family member's house to be babysat. For my cousin's wedding, though, everyone in the family, including kids as young as toddlers were allowed in. But rest assured, if a couple can't parent their children on YOUR day, you have every right to ask them to leave the kids at home.
But then again, kids in my family are disciplined pretty early. Talking in church meant a warning first, and then a spanking. My relatives have taught the word "No" to their one-year-olds. And being loud or running around meant immediate removal from the premises, and then punishment.
People who bring their kids to weddings?
