    I’ve seen kids at weddings. Hell, I’ve been a kid at weddings. It was generally a bad experience for everyone.

    Bored. Hungry. Thirsty. Where’s the toilet? I wanna play over there. Not allowed to touch this and that. Don’t run around. Don’t yell. Stop doing rude things. Don’t cry. Barf. Sleepy. Who gave them alcohol? I wanna go home! Stop crying. Etc and so on.

    Kids and weddings rarely mix well, often making it a burdensome experience for everyone, mostly for the kids.

      This is also why I hate weddings as an adult. They’re boring. Maybe I’d feel differently if it was my own wedding or if I was really emotionally invested in the couple or something.

        Weddings are different if you’re a close friend of the betrothed. Then it’s a party with all your friends and a bunch of people you tangentially know.

        Being a distant friend or cousin at those events sucks.
