I'm stealing this from another thread because I'm interested in everyones thoughts, and it is hard to get to the sub-threads of different threads. lol
So, what is your experience with children and weddings? I know there are some people adament that children not be included. I am completely the opposite. I cannot imagine a wedding without children everywhere.
DH and I got married at the courthouse in another state, so this wasn't an issue for us, but we are currently kicking around an idea to renew our vows and have a "reception" (party) in 2 years for our 10th anniversary. In my opinion, my wedding, or renewing my wedding vows is an incredibly special and happy occasion I want to share with all my family and friends. And that includes the minor one.

Etiquette, to me, is about rules of behavior *for myself.* It means that I always, always serve wine and beer when I'm hosting a party. Etiquette also mandates, to me, that I gracefully accept whatever is offered by the hosts of the parties I attend. I've been served some truly awful meals in my time, but I have the sense and the grace to shut up, try to get it down, and compliment the chef. I've sipped horrendous red wine that burned my mouth like acid with a smile on my face.
Complaining that you aren't being feted in a grand enough manner is the exact opposite of etiquette.
As for me being sarcastic and "b**chy", that's right, baby. It comes from a lifetime of dealing with people like you who are, incidently, a dime a dozen.
