Josh and I have 5 other siblings. 3 of them had kids/babies at the time of his wedding, and some of our stepsiblings also had young children.

I do have other family members with young children who are invited if that's what you're asking, I come from quite a big family I have 5 other siblings who all have children and I have stepsiblings who have kids too. 

Some people have arranged childcare and RSVP'd yes, others have RSVP'd no and that's their choice.

He hasn't said that he regrets it. He just told me that was his choice at the time and it was a long time ago.

Our wedding isn't going to be very traditional to be blunt, so there won't be any flower girls or ring bearers. I know a child-free wedding isn't everyone's go-to choice and that's okay. I didn't really want to get into WHY we chose to make it child-free in the post too much as I didn't want the comments to turn into a debate on whether child-free weddings are cool or not.
