Angry bride struggles through vows due to behaviour of 'disrespectful' guest at 'adult-only' wedding

She wanted an 'adult-only' wedding but someone didn't follow the rules

To have an 'adult only' wedding or to not have an 'adult-only' wedding, that is the question.

At least it is once you get to the point where you can get married as some people don't want their special day to be interrupted by the various noises and distractions children can cause.

Dear reader, I myself have been reminded on occasion by my parents that when I was much younger and attended a wedding, I slightly spoiled things when the priest said 'may their marriage be blessed with children' and I pointed out the happy couple had 'already got one'.

In my defence, I was about five at the time, but you see why some people might not want wedding guests to bring their children.

That was the case with Claire Kendall Taetz, a bride-to-be who put on an 'adult-only' wedding, and got very annoyed at a 'disrespectful' guest who had a crying baby as she was trying to get through her vows.

Claire and her groom Joshua shared 'concerned' looks as the baby crying could be heard over the ceremony and members of the wedding party looked around to see where the noise was coming from.

Other guests at the wedding asked the man in possession of a baby to step out of the ceremony, but he only took the child outside 'for a second' and then came back in, refusing to leave 'as he'd driven 10 hours' to make it there.

The bride was not happy about the disruption, saying: "No children were invited aside from our nieces and nephews and I wish that our wish had been honoured.

"Once I made my way down the aisle and my sister had re-adjusted my dress I was made aware of the baby crying. At first I understood babies can have a bad time and I was hoping the parent would promptly take the child out.

"But as the officiate went on, so did the crying. I was holding my tongue because I don't think it's acceptable for a bride to say something."

Claire explained that she 'was just on edge the whole time' and 'wanted to be fully present for my vows', but admitted the crying baby 'definitely distracted me and left me feeling disrespected'.

"It's not the child's fault, it's the fact the father didn't have the courtesy to excuse himself out and that took away from the atmosphere in a monumental moment of my life," she explained, so it would seem that the little one is off the hook - even if their dad is in the doghouse.

"Everyone thinks their child will behave but children are not extensions of us because we all have our own emotions and free will.

"You can't predict how a child will behave in a situation like this and it's your responsibility to help them regulate their emotions.

"I didn't say anything about it because I was socialising with many guests but I did have people come up to me and express their frustration.

"I don't want that to be the thing people take away from the ceremony. I don't like conflict because it makes me uncomfortable and to know people were talking about it made me feel uncomfortable.

"The ceremony was still so sweet and special that I don't think the baby spoiled it but it did take my focus in and out, especially when you have a lot of nerves."
