Weddings are a special time that is carved out for love and romance. No one wants any drama, disarray, chaos, confusion, or betrayal.

There is so much that goes into planning a wedding and everything is meant to go perfectly. It’s not a simple task to get hitched and for things to go well without a hitch.

A few weddings are tormented by bridezillas who attempt to control their guests in a demanding and discourteous way. In any case, this goes two different ways, and at times, sensible solicitations made by the wedding party are overlooked by childish and discourteous people.

And this can ruin the wedding for the couple. The last option is valid for this Redditor with the username u/babyweddingthrowaway, who figured it was wise to come along with a 10-month-old baby to a wedding that says "no kids".

The OP wanted to know if it was wrong to carry a baby to a child-free wedding, so she took her story to the AITA subreddit community. According to the story, the OP’s "cousin lives a 6-hour drive from me and the rest of our family."

No children were invited to the wedding except the bride's young nieces and nephews, and this was because there were limited spaces. The OP wasn’t comfortable leaving her baby with a babysitter just like the rest of her cousins did.

Instead, she chose to take her baby along with her, not knowing that she was already brewing trouble.

No children were invited to the wedding due to limited space

There are consequences for every action, and even though we understand that the OP cherishes her baby, she did violate the wedding rules and that is bad no matter her reasons. Keep reading to find out how the whole story unfolded.

I wasn't comfortable leaving my 20 month old baby behind

The bride didn't want to start any drama because she didn't know the OP

They thought I was given special treatment

The reddit post gathered a lot of attention, and it has been upvoted 17K times with more than 6,000 comments. Redditors wasted no time in condemning the OP while labeling her the a**hole in this story.

Some were of the opinion that she shouldn’t have gone if she wanted to stay with her baby rather than violate the wedding rules. Below are some of the most upvoted comments from the thread, so keep scrolling and check them all out.

You just decided that you were above the rules

I knew people would try and go around it

You don't get to change the rules of someone's wedding

What some people fail to understand is that rules are there for a purpose. Even if you think what you’re doing is right, going against the wedding rules is still bad and can ruin things for the bride and groom.
