I made this mistake regarding when I decided to become a parent. The WISE thing for me to do would have been to have worked time and a half for a couple of years first, paid off my loans, and THEN had children (this should be my first child in my tummy, not my second) because then I actually COULD have stayed home with them. We might even be in a house by now.
But no, I had baby fever. I wanted a baby and I didn't want to wait any longer. It was very impulsive of me. I don't regret it though, because I can't think of a more wonderful and precious child as my little Joe, and we have everything that we need.
No, the entire point of the day is for them to GET married.
Yes so it is NOT unheard of in her church as she has been indicating how it only in MY sub-culture :)
You seem very familiar, do I know you?
"No, the entire point of the day is for them to GET married. Who gets to see it is up to the bride and groom."
Exactly and if they considered it too private and only wanted certain people, it would be a closed ceremony, none were that I have attended.
"Way to skirt the point, though...would it not have been inconsiderate, at best, for people to show up uninvited at the ceremony, giving no thought to the possibility that there are reasons for whoever was invited to be invited and whoever was not invited not to be."
IME people who go to the ceremony, like myself are not invited for several reasons, mostly budget reasons. I would have loved to have everyone who attended my ceremony to come to my reception but that was not possible.
You indicate that in your subculture anyone can come to any wedding if they want to, without invitation.
In her subculture, sometimes the bride & groom invite the rest of the congregation.
Those 2 situations are hardly the same thing.
But you just said that the entire point was for people to see them get married.
Anyway, doesn't the extension of invitations, in and of itself, already say that it's a "closed" ceremony?
