We got an invite like that this summer. Travel all the way to Seattle, from AL, and attend a wedding w/o the kids. Shall we store them in the basement while we're gone? Or will we be relying on total strangers to watch them in a large city? *snort* Um, no. Thanks, though! Our invite had decent grammar, though, so that was handy. ;-) At least we knew they meant it, right? And we bore no hard feelings. We just weren't going to spend the equivalent of the den addition on a trip to an event we couldn't bring our children to. I think Jennifer F. hit on a really interesting point - perspective. What's the wedding about? What's the ceremony and the marriage about? I'm not saying every wedding should look like a Mexican block party (ours did, but, well, we party like Mexicans!) but the Adults Only weddings might be an interesting indicator of the season and perspective of the couple getting married. Maybe the next generation will swing back the other way? Dy Mmm, yeah. We got an invite like that this summer. Travel all the way to Seattle, from AL, and attend a wedding w/o the kids.
