When it comes to weddings most people agree that all the rules of the day are entirely down to the couple who are getting married.
Weddings are expensive, hopefully once-in-a-lifetime events that the prospective bride and groom-to-be want to be absolutely perfect for them.
That might mean they make certain rules that people abide by, and one that can cause a bit of controversy is the no-children rule.
One could have caused a rift in their family after refusing to make an exception to their child-free wedding for the bride's sister.
As harsh as it may seem - the bride doesn't actually like kids and the groom agrees that he doesn't want kids present.
Taking to popular forum website Reddit, the anonymous woman explained that they are having around 90-100 people at their kids free wedding in October.
However, if they were to include kids who are younger than 10 it would easily add 15-20 more people to their guest list.
But what's even more important is that the bride-to-be doesn't really like children, so doesn't want them there on her big day because it would be "too much".
In the recent post, the honest bride-to-be wrote: "I don't really like kids even though I'm the oldest with a big family with eight nieces and nephews and I like to think, I'm a lot of fun.
"But still, not a fan of kids. Surprisingly, my fiancé feels the same about kids being at the wedding. It just would be too much."
However, three months before the wedding she was contacted by her sister, who explained that her husband won't be able to attend the wedding if their kids can't come.
The bride also got the impression she felt "disrespected that their kids, who they love and want to be there" on their auntie's big day won't be coming.
She continued: "She presented me with a couple options on how they could come and questioned my reasoning for it while laying on that guilt trip but I didn't budge. No kids means no kids."
The woman received hundreds of messages of support on the forum, with most people agreeing that it was their wedding, and guests have to accept the rules.
One person said: "It's your wedding if you don't want the kids there your sister and her husband should be able to accommodate YOUR wishes on YOUR day."
Another agreed, adding: "Your wedding, your rules. If you allow sis's kids to attend, what about the other kids? Where to draw the line which kids can come and which not?"
