My one 'Bridezilla' Issue... HELP!

Original post by cavvento

I've been really easygoing and relaxed about everything, and haven't had any desire to play the 'I'm the Bride' card. But recently, there's something that's upsetting me...

FH has 2 nephews who we're extremely close to who will be age 3-1/2 and almost 2 when we get married. They are both 'in our wedding (ceremony)'

We both REALLY want them there at our reception. I couldn't imagine not dancing around with the little guys. They are FAMILY and I want them there. FBIL (FH's bro) and FSIL refuse, thinking they will be too much work. We keep telling them that there will be enough people there to watch them (we even offered to 'hire' a cousin's best friend to babysit them at the reception), but they are still refusing. It's breaking my heart to think about the little guys not being there, and honestly I will always resent it if they are not there.

Should I let this go, or am I being selfish? I've been to plenty of weddings with little kids, who just 'crash' in their strollers when they get tired. Even my cousin is bringing her 2-year old. Thanks for your input.

its reallly up to the parents. you cant force them or blame them for wanting to keep them home.

honestly, it hink the night will go by sooo fast that if they do come, u will spend 10 min with them TOPS. u will be pulled in every direction possible..

it stinks that they dont want to bring them...but it is their decision

I would really let it go. Even though you want them there to have a little fun with them it will bultimately the parents that will have to deal with them. Its hard for a couple to get away and enjoy themselves without the children and maybe they really want this time just for the 2 of them.
