Am I alone in finding the twee poems offensive?

You are absolutely not the only one - I want to post "Ugh! Pass the vom bucket..." every time I see one but I am too much of a coward
I think it's a horrid import from America that has got a toehold over here because of t'internet - most wedding forums are US based.
I wouldn't mind so much but I am a genuine lover of poetry and these things are always really 'bad' poetry - it sets my teeth on edge.

People can't have it both ways.
If the groom or sister are claiming this was a momentous event in their lives then why couldn't they sacrifice some savings and pay for a baby sitter for only 1 day?

If their children are more important than being at the wedding then fair enough - but that's their choice isn't it.

Aren't they just complaining about their own priorities here?

Are you saying that the wedding day is not a momentous event for a groom?

They did not leave the children on their own! They were with a babysitter.

What they were not happy about was being told that NO children would be at the wedding only to find that there were.

I don't think the groom had a right to be annoyed, does he have kids? Maybe his sisters felt uneasy leaving them all day, the timing of them going to check on them wasnt great, but as a mother, you can't help that.

What would he have done if they choose to spend the whole day away from his wedding as they didn't want to leave their kids at all.

No it was their little protest at finding out there were children there when they were told there would not be any. No the bride and groom did not have any children at the time, they went on to have one and then she divorced him a year later.

Is a wedding day all about the bride then and no-one else? What about what the groom wants?

I do not know what he would have done if they had chosen not to go to the wedding which they may well have done if they had known that other children were there and yet not nieces and nephews.
