A woman who wanted a child-free wedding has charged the parents of those who brought their kids to the event because they ‘ruined’ her special day.

She took to Reddit and explained that she doesn’t have any problem with kids but the venue charged full price for kids over the age of 2. This meant an extra $250 for every child who attended her big day.

“The kids are generally good, so the main issue was the cost,” she wrote.

“We wrote this on the website and clarified it with anyone who asked. We got a lot of grief over this, so we felt a fair comprise was to:

“1. Extend the dinner the night before to include kids, and the restaurant was very nice about having close to 100 kids.

“2. Hire 5 babysitters for 25-30 kids on the wedding night for locals who couldn’t find a babysitter last-minute, and for guests who travelled with their kids. My in-laws offered their home less than 30 minutes away to host all the kids.”

But on her wedding day, three couples arrived with their children and there were nine kids in total.

“When the ceremony started, one kid started wailing and another skipped down the aisle in front of me. I played it cool, and the staff was on top of it. They escorted the mum and the 2 kids outside. The rest of the ceremony went smoothly,” she went on.

“During the reception, the same 2 kids were screaming and throwing food. Other guests and staff were trying to get them to sit. At one point, one kid went under my dress, which was so f***ing weird. I didn’t notice and almost tripped.

“My bridesmaids pointed out that the food they threw got on my dress and that’s when I had enough. I gave my husband ‘the look’ and he rounded up the kids, brought them to the parents, and asked them to leave for good.”

After the ceremony, the woman and her husband sent a bill to the three couples who brought their kids so they could pay the extra $250 per head.

“We sent a bill to the three couples with a letter saying we had a lovely time with them and reminding them that they agreed to pay for the uninvited kids,” she said.

“Two couples paid and were apologetic, and even said they understood why we couldn’t include the kids. Of course, the couple with the 2 rowdy kids refused to pay because we asked them to leave before cake … seriously.

“Instead of apologizing, we got a nasty call. All I said was they should be lucky I didn’t send the dry cleaning bill for the dress.”
