    Since when is a wedding about the people attending and their wants and desires? It's about the couple entering into the marriage. People crying about whom the couple does or does not want at their wedding are lamentable.

    Harsh. I think its just a difference in opinions no right or wrong.

    When I brought it up I didn't anticipate that people would get angry, so I'm sorry. Weddings are very personal and everyone clearly has a difference of opinion.

    Exactly why all I had to say was I disagree with you. That's my opinion and yours is of course yours. Nothing wrong with either side and I think explanations are fine but not necessary. No need to be angry about it really.

    Not sure what OP had in mind, but to @km8907 and @newmeadow, I could help hijack the thread and talk at some length about being in a verbally and psychologically abusive marriage.


    Hey guys. All jokes aside no one should be devalued male or female. I treat clients from a variety of countries all over the world, and am overjoyed when they come to the place where they are empowered and are able to step into their created purpose. We are all here for a specified purpose.

    I don't think anyone should be invited to a wedding.

    Agreed. Especially when the divorce rate is like 40-50%. Everyone should just elope and receive gift cards.

    Pacific Islands weddings (traditional Polynesian) are all about the the groom's mum and the bride's mum. Relatives choose to gift the couple or the mothers "thank you" chests or both. Even if the couple chose to have a small wedding eg. registry, immediate family only, island get away wedding ... Extended relatives will hire a park set up with marquees or a hotel ball room and celebrate your wedding WITHOUT YOU or YOUR groom with stand in proxies. ALL because you decided to "be Westernised" and have a guest list. Islanders DON'T DO guest lists ... It's rude ... Guest lists are dishonouring the mothers of the couple, in forcing them to choose between relatives and friends who've apparently helped with your rearing. Even ALL your babysitters and nannies are invited.

    @children. There's always a children's Marquee where they eat, play and are seemingly never in need for carers. Relatives volunteer ... Could stem from a strong Methodist set up.

    There's always a party marquee and a groom's marquee and bride's marquee. You can fraternise or not with the other side.

    Common to attend a wedding and not know the name of the groom/bride. You only know your relatives.
