A few days ago a man had his wedding and married the love of his wife. This groom and his bride wanted their wedding to be entirely child-free, which isn’t an unreasonable request.
Many people choose not to invite children to their weddings for various reasons, and this groom pointed out that he and his bride wanted to not have kids there due to costs and concerns with things being peaceful.
The invites to their wedding clearly stated their wishes to keep things child-free, and this groom was immediately concerned about what his 36-year-old brother named Ramsey would do after getting the invite.
Ramsey got married quite young and went on to have 4 kids who are very active and hyper.
Ramsey and his wife refuse to leave their kids at home and pack them up to go wherever they go, no matter what.
This groom made the decision to hand-deliver Ramsey’s wedding invitation, and when his brother opened it up, he was very rude about it as he came across the child-free part.
Ramsey couldn’t believe that his kids were not invited to the wedding, and he got upset. He insisted that his kids always get included in every event, to which the groom replied that it was his and his bride’s choice and all the guests were abiding by this rule already.
Ramsey took a moment, then changed his tune entirely. He said that he understood the groom’s decision, and dropped it.
The groom didn’t hear anything about the kids coming after that, so he assumed everything would be fine.

When his wedding day arrived, Ramsey did not get there until right before the ceremony started.
It wasn’t just Ramsey and his wife though…he had brought all 4 of his children along too, despite knowing that wasn’t allowed.
“I was legit mad I went to meet him at the entrance and saw he brought all his kids against me and my wife’s wishes,” the groom said.
“I greeted the kids and asked my SIL to take them back to the car. He loudly asked wtf was wrong with me. I asked why he brought his kids and who said it was ok.”
“He said no one but he was planning on bringing the kids all along and figured that by initially agreeing to my rule then showing up with the kids anyway would get me to agree on letting them stay.”
The groom then told his brother that every single guest had followed the one rule, but he did not.
Ramsey accused the groom of being disrespectful to his children and to him before saying that he never would go anywhere without bringing his children along.
This groom had no choice now but to tell his brother he and his children were not welcome. Ramsey started calling him a terrible person and a “lunatic” before attacking the bride.
Guests couldn’t help but watch this all go down, and then Ramsey yelled that he wouldn’t ever get married to a woman that agreed to not have kids at their wedding.
The groom felt embarrassed and upset that this was attracting everyone’s attention, including his in-laws.
Again, he told Ramsey it was time for him to go, and their mom and aunt attempted to get him to not kick Ramsey out.
This poor guy was left feeling awful on what should have been the happiest day of his life, all over one simple rule for his wedding.
Unfortunately, his whole family is not siding with him over what happened, and on top of that, he’s being called heartless.
