Weddings are witnessing some rapid changes in various facets. Not just the themes and feast but the guest list is also undergoing some drastic changes. Changes like these had spiked a war between the bridegroom and his family.

The wedding was scheduled to take place in their native state in the month of October, 2019. The couple decided to exclude kids from the guest list. The kids of their family were also not able to make their way on their list.

The groom has a step-sister who has a son. Thus, he had to talk to her regarding the ‘children-free’ wedding. But unfortunately, he did not get the right moment to disclose the clause to his family. Thus, the things went on hanging.

One day, he talked to his step-mother about the rehearsal dinner location. She was ecstatic to know about it. She then inquired if his nephew could too make his way to his rehearsal. At that point, he nodded for his attendance. He thought it right as it was a casual event. Thrilled to get his consent, she went ahead to let him know about their preparations for his wedding. She told him that she had selected a tuxedo for his nephew.

The soon-to-be groom got startled on hearing that. Finally, he told her that they were only going to invite the adults for their reception. So kids could not show up. His words frowned her. She tried to negotiate the matter with him and said that his father and step-sister would not like his move. But the couple was adamant on the stance.

He called up his sister and spoke to her regarding that. He tried to explain the situation to her. According to him, there were 13 kids from the bride’s side. So if they opened it up for her son then they had to admit others too. And that they could not afford. He offered to arrange a babysitter for him. But things did not go down well.

His sister and her family pulled out of his wedding. It marked the beginning of the family war. After having some sessions of negotiations, his parents told him that they had ostracized him from their family. Not just that, his step-mother asked the other family members to boycott the wedding. She crossed her frontiers by calling on the bride’s mother.

He shared his story on the social media platform. It drove the users to come up with their views. Many souls supported his stance and asked him to maintain it. They advised him to go ahead by breaking down the threats of his step-mother. Another said that his nephew would not remember his wedding when he would grow up.

But there were many people who sensed it wrong. According to them, the couple could have arranged a baby-sitter and a place near the wedding venue where all the kids could stay during their auspicious wedding hours.

The soon-to-be groom shared that he had the support of his maternal family. His grandfather also supported him in that matter.

Hopefully, the event went smoothly for the soon going-to-be groom and bride.
