Kids plot their grand wedding escape: a bedtime story #Features#flower girl#humor#kids Updated Oct 12 2015 (Posted Mar 14 2013) Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Green stuff at a Stephanie and Jerred's retro gamer wedding. Photo by True Love Photo Once upon a time, in a land of tulle and sequins, young children donned tight suits and itchy dresses. They bumped into legs on dance floors, and found nary a puppy to pet or game to play. Vegetables were offered, kissing was happening, and the cake seemed like it would never get cut. They were at… a wedding. Photo by Liz Pumphrey Photography Beth and Jay tortured the children with their cooty-spreading ways. No circle, circle, dot, dot was going to help here. Photo by Hitched Studios Lauren and Stan attempted to hypnotize them with cotton candy. Some of them even succumbed to the temptation. It was pure, delicious evil. There had to be a way out of this.

Reply This sounds like a good storyline for a Rugrats episode. (Yes, I know the show's ended a long time ago.) Great job Superman! Reply Rugrats rocked. Reply At my older sister's wedding they laid out an improvised playground with medieval games (the wedding was medieval-themed) for the kids, and half the grown-ups spent all day outside playing. ^^ I guess if you are going to have people with children at your celebration (be it a wedding or not), you need to plan some entertainment for the tiny beasts so everyone can relax.
