oh yeah i'm totally open to it at the reception; the rest of us were raised at happy hour so why should these glorified purses get spared that rod from the first breath? but the ceremony...that's her time and i'm going to flip out if anything spoils it. honestly i'll probably flip out internally but later, as we're not leaving for our honeymoon for a few months instead of that night, i'll probably have some thoughts to share.

We made it clear at our wedding-No kids! I don't feel guilty about it at all. We had been at too many weddings where in the middle of the ceremony siblings start fighting or a kid yells out "this is boring!" (which I admit was kinda funny, but still). Loads of other crap too.

We didn't want kids making the reception their own personal playground-running around everywhere and sticking their booger pickin' fingers in the wedding cake.

And for those of you that are sayin'- my kids don't act like that - I know! Many kids are very well behaved because their parents are doing their job.

If there was some way to politely only give the thumbs up to those kids we'd have done so, but you know you can't do that.

We had a no kid wedding. Didn't stop my cousin from showing up with his.

that's why there's a daycare center:

i should buy a small crane and dangle that cage over the cliff and threaten to drop the kids onto the rocks and crashing waves below. it'll be like a mad max pinata.

you're really trying to work this cliff into things, aren't you?

yeah man. when's it going to come up again? cliffs thin on the ground in my town. you people take them for granted.

hey man, i fell down the cliff 3 summers ago and climbed up it un july to rescue my brother's dog. i might take everything in life for granted BUT the damned cliff.

my fault. i may have misjudged you.

eh, you only misjudged my clumsiness and/or stupidity.
