"I've been super involved in helping her plan the wedding, we're close in age, good friends, and she's doing a destination wedding on a tiny island in the Pacific. Because the island is so small, the plan has always been that me, my partner, our child, his siblings and their partners would stay a few days on the island for the wedding, then all head to Fiji afterwards to have a family holiday trip,"
"She wasn't super offended by the rule and came to terms quickly with the fact that if the wedding had no children in attendance, she would also be absent from the guest list. '...her wedding, her rules, but since there is zero childcare on this island and we absolutely are not going to leave our child alone in our home country, we told her we are unable to come because of this rule,' she said."
"Now, the bride is furious because while they won't be at the wedding, they will still be going to the family holiday trip in Fiji post-wedding. '...she's creating a fuss and saying we 'must' find someone to watch him so we can still attend. She doesn't seem to understand that there's literally no childcare on this random island, and even if there was, we wouldn't leave him for his first birthday,' she said."
The sister-in-law scheduled a destination wedding on a tiny Pacific island for the same day as the child's first birthday. The family planned to stay on the island for the wedding and then travel together to Fiji for a holiday. The wedding invitations specified an adults-only policy that excluded the child. The parents declined to attend the wedding because there is zero childcare on the island and they will not leave their one-year-old alone. The bride is angry because the family will still join the post-wedding Fiji trip and expects them to find childcare for the ceremony.
