When a couple plan their wedding day there's no denying it should be all about what they want – from guest numbers to theme.
However, as former brides and grooms will know, the choices you make can start to mean people may not accept their invitation – for example, if you're getting married abroad.
Another thing that can decide how many people will accept the wedding invitation is whether you allow children at the wedding, as it can be hard to find childcare.
One woman is reportedly refusing to go to her sister's wedding because it's child-free, which means she won't be able to bring her two small children.
While this isn't a big issue for her, the bride-to-be is furious.
Taking to Reddit, the anonymous woman explained: "My older sister is getting married in June and her wedding is childfree.
"I have two young children who are breastfed (toddler would be fine, baby won't take a bottle so wouldn't be) and can't be away from them for extended periods - my toddler is also autistic, and she won't cope being babysat by someone she doesn't know.
"All of her trusted family members will be at the wedding."
However, a few nights ago the older sister asked whether she could match the bridesmaids with her dress.
She continued: "I was confused because I've already told her I'm not going - she knows I can't be away from the baby and don't have anyone to watch the toddler."
The sister got upset as she apparently thought she would "figure something out" because it was her big day.
The woman continued to explain: "There isn't anything to figure out, as I told her. Even if I had someone to watch my toddler, no one would be able to have the baby. It wasn't possible for me to attend."
She apologised to her sister, but in an honest confession on the forum, the woman said she had felt like a "sack of potatoes" since giving birth and "couldn't imagine much worse than getting dressed up to be uncomfortable for six hours".
"Not to mention needing to take frequent pumping breaks," she added.
The post continued: "She's obviously in a bad mood and is now trying to find a way for me to come. I told her that, unfortunately, when you make broad demands, some people can't attend. If she wants me there so badly she should let me bring my children.
"She's enlisted our parents in convincing me, which they haven't managed. She's now commenting on how I'm ruining her day."
People took to the comment section to support the woman, with one person saying: "Children are not allowed at the wedding. You have no one to watch your children, so you cannot attend. Period."
Another agreed, saying: "She has the right to choose a child-free wedding, you have the right to not attend. She is TA [the a**hole]] because you gave her your answer and she doesn't want to face the consequences. So she's trying to force you to give up."
