One to-be-wed couple has found themselves at odds over where to seat one of their youngest family members at their upcoming ceremony.

“I’m concerned about the potential for a newborn to cry during the ceremony, which is very important to us since babies just cry whenever,” the user wrote. “I suggested that if my fiancé’s sibling wants to attend, they could sit in a back corner so they could leave quickly if needed, and it wouldn’t affect the ceremony or videographer.”

Hoping to hear objective perspectives about who is in the wrong, the Reddit user noted that the couple both agreed to a no-child policy, save for their young family members.

The poster admitted to having limited knowledge of kids' behavior, not being a parent themselves and not being particularly familiar with the children on the guest list. In addendum to their post, they shared that the wedding cost “a ton of money,” hence why such details were so important to the couple and why they’re “planning or stressing so much on this” decision.

One person in the replies pointed out that the newborn wouldn’t be the only unpredictable member of the crowd, and others agreed.
