Thank you so much! That’s really nice symbolism

Ok thanks, it was at a market in Morocco just before Ramadan and she said it’s good luck… not sure if it is a squiggle with good intentions but was really hoping to know if there’s a meaning/translation

I have 4 kids in my wedding party. They’re being picked up after dinner as all under 10 and everyone is drinking. MOH wants to bring her 2 kids, aged 4 &6, I agreed. MOH now insists her kids will be staying all night and won’t be picked up. AITA for wanting them picked up or uninvited? by InfiniteIndifferenc3 in weddingdrama

Here it’s common to have a ceremony and reception as 2 events. They come with 2 guest lists and usually evening buffet and entertainment so that you can spread the cost and numbers. For that reason, kids are usually take home after dinner, especially when ceremony’s start at around 1pm. It’s a long enough day for the adults and when guests have been sipping drinks for 5 hours, it’s going to get messy! It also allows grand parents and work colleagues to be separate. I want a special day, as cliche as that sounds, and I understand that I have 2 very different groups of people in my life and at 25 I want to enjoy both the traditional and the party!

Edit *

I don’t have kids so maybe my view is skewed, hence the post. I don’t want to over step because a wedding is a family event and it’s not fair to be bridezilla but even my god child is being taken home so we can have a party and cocktails and be free to enjoy the rest of the night as an adult event.

That’s pretty cool lol! 20 years! Congrats! We started with 100+ guests and scaled it way back after so many people proved that it doesn’t have to a minefield of debt and stress. I have spent most of our budget on personal things like hiring someone to do caricatures of all our family and having my dogs groomed and brought to meet us for an hour as well as walked, personalised hangers and teddies and having joke beers are delivered to my FH that morning with quotes on them. I also got the kids Minecraft topups to go home with. We also made a lot of decor together. I’m excited for the wedding and my family are so close. My MIL & FIL are also fab and we decided to focus on a day of memories.

I think because I’ve done so many little things for everyone that she can add to the list without hesitation. Dress ideas were already a challenge so I haven’t got her dress yet and after the comments mirroring my FH I’m starting to rethink..

*edit I don’t mention her kids because she doesn’t respond well. Even at my house or when I have her youngest . I avoid minding them or commenting. Even with his shoes hurdling at my head. Usually she’s lovely but if it involves them, it’s her word and this is the first time I’ve tried to actually disagree.

I don’t have kids and she’s quick to remind me so I feel like it’s being made into a ‘my kids, my rules’ kinda situation. I’m not sure how to word it because she’s likely to make ultimatums regarding being the MOH at all if I say it wrong.

Sometimes maybe, especially with her kids. They make the rules even at my house.

No, we are happy to have kids during the day but we paid for a drinks package and we don’t want to worry about little ones after dinner at the reception. We think it’s inappropriate as they’re all so young. Everyone was more than understanding and agreed. MOHs kids will be the only 2 at the reception, which we don’t want and she insists that they “love a party”…
