I've just had a disagreement with my brother when I told him that his son isn't coming to the wedding and there are no kids at the reception. Nephew is 9 but I don't think I have seen him 9 times in his life! Brother said 'Well you can tell him then.' Ok, I'll do that next time I see him. Bearing in mind the last time I saw him was for 10 minutes last November when my brother brought him with him when he drilled some holes for me. I am unlikely to see him before I get married next November for any meaningful amount of time either. He also got a bit peeved when I said he couldn't bring a guest to the wedding only the reception. This didn't make any sense as he is currently single and has been for about 4 years. There are only 20 people going to be at the wedding and (call me selfish) for £40 a head I don't want any of them to be either people I don't know or don't like!
Got married 11/11/11.

I think you making the right choice, dont let ur brother get u down, thats all i have to say really x
CommentAuthorNetta
So he has thrown a wobbly because he can't bring a +1 he hasn't even met yet type thing.. eeee gads! Forgive my snot-addled brain but that just seems a bit ridiculous on his part, could possibly understand if was saying he would use said +1 for the child but that is silly when you have a limited guestlist.
Think you are doing the right thing in agreeing to tell the child yourself, especially as you say you rarely ever see him. It is your wedding, as donna says don't let him get you down.

I have 2 newphews and 1 neice. 1 neice and nephew were BM and PB because I spent a lot of time with them and love them. I dont really talk to my brother and he has a kid with his new mrs and I've barely met him, hes 2 now. The hissy fit my brother threw cos I wouldnt have the baby as a PB too! Stood my ground though, I wanted people I love, not have someone just cos of DNA

we've upset h2b's brother too cos we arn't having any young kids at our wedding, there's 5 of them and 2 of them are h2b's brothers twins and other 3 from his wives previous relationship. but they would run riot, and we just don't want load of kids running about. stand your ground as we are, if they don't like it they don't need to come! xx

CommentAuthorMrs Brakes
just had discussion with h2b. He hates confrontation and said brother can bring someone if he pays for them. I told him that if my son and another guest aren't bringing a + 1 then neither is my brother. I would rather have friends of ours there rather than my bro s 'mate'.
Got married 11/11/11.
