Grow Up
We kindly asked that no kids were allowed at our wedding, envisioning it as a free night for parents to relax, enjoy, and stay out late. Plus, we were footing the bill for the meals—kid-friendly food like nuggets didn’t make the list, and our families count more than 30 children altogether.
I considered it a reasonable request, but my cousin Mark disagreed. Two days before the big day, he informed me that they couldn’t come unless they could bring their toddler and suggested we cover their accommodation cost if we wanted their presence.
In the end, Mark and his clan didn’t show up, but they sent a “Congratulations” card, which arrived around two months later.
