The only thing that is necessary at a wedding, is whatever the bride and groom want.
Anything else is superfluous. You do not have to have children at, or part of your wedding if you don't want to.
Having just organized my daughter's wedding, with massive help from her sister (thanks JoceyFisch
), I have some pretty strong views.
You also do not have to say yes, when, after the invitations go out, you get relatives ringing you up saying 'oh, can Mary's boyfriend come too?'
Mary and John have been together for like 10 minutes..... :x
Or my daughter's prosepective Mother-In-Law who wanted to invite her friend....
We had 4 or 5 such phone calls.
MY Mother-In-Law pressured me to have 5-6 bridesmaids because 'it adds to the spectacle'
What the? I had 2 bridesmaids
Gosh, I will stop now, or this will turn into a novel...... :lol:
