<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>I think it all depends.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Our wedding was filled with family, friends, church acquaintances and lots of children. We are the kind of people that have a large investment in the lives of kids and it was as true when we were 19 and 20 as it is now at 44 and 46. We couldn't imagine a wedding without children as that would have been foreign to the way we lived our lives. So including children in our wedding party was as much a part of who we were as what we were actually accomplishing that day.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>So for you, the questions include:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Are there special children in your life that you would like to have be a part of the story of your ceremony?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Are you the kind of people that have children around you in general?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>How will it be if the children in your ceremony garner more attention than your wife? Than the words of the ceremony? (</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Will your ceremony be solemn and formal?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Lots of weddings are kid-friendly and others don't even have kids invited at all. Neither is right or wrong.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>So the real question is not what do people think (there is a different opinion for every person who answers your question), but what will <EM>your</EM> wedding be like?</FONT></DIV>
