I am getting married on nov. 23. My Fiance and i Are having a wedding reception with More than 200 guests. There Are no children invited. According to the etiquette books that i have read it is not proper to put a no children on your wedding invitations. Mine Are already printed up the proper Way anyway one of my aunts is upset because her son and his wife have a 2-year-old boy who has cerebral palsy and some mental retardation. They claim that they cannot get a baby Sitter for the boy and that they Are bringing him to the wedding. They brought him to a family wedding last year and everyone was buzzing about it. I done to understand Why they can to get a Sitter. They have plenty of time to find one. And i done to want you to think that we done to want the boy there because he has a disability. My Fiance also has a physical disability but it is not fair to my Fiance a family some of whom have Small children too.

And the first time he knew what he lacked was when he looked for a pretty Good Job. It was then when he sought a position. He discovered that life could be Tough. And he soon had a sneaky suspicion pretty Good might not be Good enough. The pretty Good town in our Story was part of a pretty Good state. Which had pretty Good aspirations.
