I dislike kids, but the definition of "family" includes them
I'm from a "mixed" family - blue collar, professional, and crazy. When there's a wedding, everyone comes. This includes kids. If there's a concern about tots and infants, the people putting on the shindig should hire a baby minder to just hang out and offer to help. That is assuming there aren't some plump and maternal women just itching to smell fresh baby breath.
Its pointless to get embarassed at the drunken uncle who falls over, the kid saying something silly, or folks wearing the wrong clothes. Weddings are not only about family, but they are also about gossip and juicy stories that can be told for years to come. ("Her belly button ring fell INTO THE PUNCHBOWL!")
Do us all a favor and don't mash the cake into each others' faces, m'kay?
