An anonymous bride has divided the internet this week after she revealed on the social media site Reddit that she kicked out some of her wedding guests for bringing their two children to her nuptials.

The bride, who allowed her young niece to come to her wedding and serve as her flower girl, explained that she had told guests before the wedding that no children would be allowed at the ceremony. Despite this, the couple in question showed up with their infant and toddler, drawing the ire of the bride.

“At the actual wedding ceremony, I let it slide. I was preoccupied for obvious reasons,” the bride wrote. “I also thought that maybe they planned not to attend the reception or to have someone pick the kids up before it started.”

When the couple then came to the reception with their kids, however, the bride said that one of whom was crying and the other was “appearing cranky.” The bride told the wedding planner to go over and ask if they had plans to have their kids picked up. This resulted in an argument, “so I went over to help,” the bride said.

“The wife gave a sort of apology and then assured me that they were capable of minding their own children to make sure they didn’t get in the way of anything,” she recounted. “I said that wasn’t really the point. That’s when my now-husband comes over and he and the other woman’s husband begin going back and forth and things got a little heated.”

The bride reportedly then “snapped and said that they just needed to go” during an “embarrassing” scene.

The bride asked her fellow Reddit users if she was being an “a—hole“ for making the couple leave, and most people took her side.

“Absolutely [not]. You stated it on the invitation and asked them politely first. I feel awful that a day that was meant to be the best of your life was tarnished by the event,” one user responded, with another adding, “Agree! The a—holes were the ones who brought their kids to an explicitly child-free event. And then caused a scene when they were asked to leave.”

“Isn’t it funny how some people instantly decide that the rules no longer apply to them once they become parents[?]” third person asked.

The bride later returned to Reddit to thank everyone for their support.

“What I’ve gotten from this is that most people think that the couple was rude,” she wrote. “There are also a select few who feel that it’s a–holish to have a kid-free wedding at all which is…  interesting.”
