Hello. My fiancé and I decided on a adult only wedding. We wanted our guests to be able to enjoy a day / night out (on us) and have a great time. I have one bridesmaid who has a son who will be 2 at the time of our wedding. I broke the news to her that we wanted a child free wedding. I have yet to...

awful! But a part of me what's to stick to my guns and continue with what my fiancé and I want.

We have a few friends with kids and I have brought up the subject very briefly about a child free wedding to (most) of them as well as my non parent guests. Everyone seemed to support our decision.

Has anybody been through this? And advice? Thanks in advance xoxo

I was in my sisters wedding in September 2016. She had an adult only wedding except for her bridal party. I have a 2 year old son I was upset by this at first but I was upset because I felt like she didnt include her nephew but included friends kids more than that it was an adult only reception. Everyone thought she should have made the exception because I was in the bridal party. The day of her wedding after we decided to have my fiance stay home with our son she changed her mind and wanted both my fiance and my son there but it was already to late he made plans to do something with his mom so she was upset that they weren't there. At the end of the day I was actually glad my son wasnt there. Yes it would have been fun to watch him run around "dancing" but I wouldn't have had half the fun I did if I was chasing around a 2 year old because lets face it even if his dad would have been there hes a mommy's boy and is attached to my hip when around new people.
Not sure if my experience helps but it took me a little while to get over it maybe give her a little time she might come around.

Breastfeeding a 2 year old? Is that even a thing? I would have assumed that would be long over with. OP you did nothing wrong. Sounds like she just wants to be able to bring her kids, I know it sucks but I would just move on at this point.
