When the bride said “no kids allowed” — the diva wasn’t kidding around.
Parents are personas non grata at the upcoming nuptials of a no-nonsense woman who’s child-proofing her holy matrimony by excluding mommies and daddies, so says an incensed invitee.
“A family member is having a kid-free wedding. I find that perfectly acceptable,” wrote an outraged Redditor. “However, they are not telling people it’s kid-free, or putting it on the invitations.”
“They are just flat out not inviting people who have children.”
It’s a big day ban on baby-makers — and, perhaps, for good reason.
Claire Kendall Taetz, 25, of Texas, felt “disrespected” by a pig-headed parent who brought their crying kiddo to her “adults-only” ceremony at the top of the month.
“It’s not the child’s fault,” said the beleaguered bride, blaming the tot’s dad for ignoring her wedding day rules and displaying a wanton lack of tact.
“It’s the fact the father didn’t have the courtesy to excuse himself out,” she said, “that took away from the atmosphere in a monumental moment of my life.”
Another newlywed threatened to call security on her best friend’s four-year-old son after the hungry hellion helped himself to a hunk of her wedding cake before its big reveal.
“I try to apologize but my best friend turns around and yells, ‘This is YOUR FAULT. Your son RUINED my cake,’” recalled the rugrat’s mom in an anonymous virtual rant. “Not only did she blow up at me in front of everyone, but at my son. I’m humiliated but even more angry on his behalf.”
So, to avoid the dada and mama drama, this kiddie-cautious bride-to-be is standing firm on her “no parents, please” decree.
“It doesn’t matter who you are,” explained the soon-to-wed’s offended relative on Reddit. “I have cousins and very close family members who are not invited.”
“These family members watched this person grow up and cheered them on every step of the way, then get excluded on their big day, simply for continuing to populate the earth,” continued the grumbler. “They don’t even give them the chance to attend without their children [or] find a sitter.”
Fueled by rage, the whistleblower went on to call the bride a “snobby brat,” and added, “I feel excluding family like this is extreme.”
Stunned social media savages agreed.
“This is not normal,” spat a shocked commenter. “They’re excluding anyone who is actively parenting underage children. That’s bananas.”
An equally angered onlooker concurred, writing, in part, “To exclude people who are parents without offering the chance to arrange childcare is a unique evil.“
“A benefit of [having] little kids is how it gets you out of bulls- -t obligations. No one wants to come to a wedding anyway,” said another.
However, a faction of seemingly understanding folks backed the bride’s parental preclusion.
“You can say ‘no kids’ a million times and someone will always still bring their kids,” noted a recent honeymooner. “I had a child-free wedding. Guess how many kids were still there lol.”
“Look,” another supporter said, “it’s her wedding, and she can invite (or not invite) whoever she wants — Still an a- -hole, though.”
