A mum has been left "bloody furious" with her brother after she found out that there were children at this wedding after he told her that her kids were not allowed.
After failing to find childcare for the event, she did not attend the wedding, for which he gave her "grief".
The woman has now taken to parenting website Mumsnet to ask for advice after seeing children in her brother's wedding photos a month after being told that she was not allowed to bring her two kids.

She wrote: "Some of you may remember that last month I asked if IWBU for missing my brother’s child free wedding which was in the Scottish Highlands (350 miles away) as our childcare fell through last minute?
"And I got my a**e massively handed to me for refusing to charter a private plan, or hire a phoenix to carry me there, and go at all costs.
"WELL….you may recall that my DB (dear brother) wouldn’t change his mind about the kids not coming. It was a hard ‘no’ to kids even when that meant I couldn’t go myself."
She continued: "The wedding photos have just been posted on Facebook - there’s two f*****g kids in the photos!! I messaged him asking who they were and they’re his DW (dear wife)’s cousin’s children.
"He’s refusing to answer why his niece and nephew weren’t invited, even when we had no childcare, and these kids were. He says he 'doesn’t owe me an explanation about anything'.
"I think he f*****g does after the grief he gave me about not coming! I’m bloody furious!
"Seriously considering sending glitter in the post to him. T**t. So, so pleased I didn’t spend a small fortune going on my own."
Before long, the post had received dozens of replies from fellow Mumsnet users. While opinions varied, the majority agreed that the brother's behaviour was "awful".
One said: "That's infuriating! You are not being unreasonable."
"I couldn't forgive that," a second shared.
A third agreed: "That's awful I'd have nothing to do with him. He won't discuss it because how can he possibly justify it, he can't."
A fourth posted: "What an idiot. Same thing happened to me. However slightly different as one of my kids was invited and the other not!"
However, others felt that the brother was free to make his own rules for his wedding, with one stating: "Good for your brother. If you can’t create totally arbitrary rules for your own wedding then when can you. Looks like he’s living his best life."
A second commented: "There are always children at child-free weddings. It's part of the rules of wedding insanity."
Meanwhile, a third argued: "I had some sympathy until I saw that you hadn't even bothered to give him a wedding present (not buying the excuse about hadn't got the details. It would have been easy to get them. You could have asked your mum)."
