Brother. Have you heard of a Kid Free Wedding?
00:01
Yes. Funny enough.
00:02
We tried to have a kid Free Wedding but it didn't work
00:05
out that way. So they brought their kids anyway.
00:08
They said, well,
00:09
fuck with you guys.
00:10
We were bringing our babies.
00:12
They said Chinga su and like I try to stay firm.
00:14
But my wife was like,
00:15
oh you know, my nephews are so cute.
00:17
I'm like, OK,
00:19
yeah, well, I mean,
00:21
it's a growing trend that people are having no kids at their
00:24
wedding. So you get married.
00:26
Do you want kids at your wedding?
00:29
No, no, because I mean,
00:34
look, it's different,
00:35
I think it's different when it's your special day.
00:38
You know, you took a long time to plan it.
00:41
You want, you want it to be a certain way and
00:44
you know, kids will be kids.
00:45
You know, it's,
00:46
it's not so much that I I don't dislike kids just because
00:50
you don't want kids at your wedding means that you're anti Kidd
00:52
But our next guest,
00:54
Cathy Breo just had a kid Free Wedding and her video actually
00:59
went viral on tiktok girl D you too because it was
01:09
that like she decided to have a kid free wedding and a
01:12
lot of people had different opinions about it.
01:14
So, let's hear it from her.
01:16
hi, Kathy.
01:18
Hi. Yeah. And with the trending video,
01:22
I know this sound probably offended people.
01:24
But, yeah, I'm not against,
01:25
I don't hate kids.
01:27
I love kids, but it was just to show that I
01:29
had a kid free wedding.
01:31
I mean, girl,
01:32
I don't judge you for the sound.
01:34
I feel like it was going viral.
01:35
That sound was like a popular sound and I think that it
01:38
like I laughed at the sound,
01:40
the sound, what's the,
01:42
what's the sound? The sound was ok.
01:45
I don't know if you heard it on tiktok but it said
01:47
oh fuck your kids and fuck you too.
01:51
No, no, no,
01:52
no, no, you got it.
01:53
You got it close.
01:54
It girl, fuck them kids and fuck you.
01:59
I found it funny.
02:00
But I mean,
02:01
I have a kid now and I still say fuck them kids
02:03
because sometimes they, like you said,
02:04
kids are gonna be kids over there.
02:09
But we wanted to ask you Khy first off.
02:11
Thank you so much for joining us.
02:14
We wanted to ask why did you and your partner
02:16
decide to go like child free when it came to your wedding
02:20
And whose idea was it?
02:22
So since the very beginning,
02:23
I think we were both,
02:25
we both agreed that we wanted no kids at our wedding.
02:29
And I think I was probably the first one that mentioned it
02:32
but he was totally on board with it and was like
02:34
yeah, let's not have kids.
02:35
We would just see like,
02:37
you know, hear stories from people,
02:40
relatives, friends, you know,
02:42
kids running around and we would even see videos.
02:44
I'm sure you guys have seen videos on tiktok where the couples
02:48
having the first dance and the kids are running around and I
02:52
just wanted to avoid all that.
02:53
Also. Our venue was really big and I don't want that
02:57
responsibility of the kids getting lost or,
03:00
you know, having to talk on the mic like,
03:03
hey, I'm looking for my kid.
03:05
I just didn't want to have any of that and I just
03:08
wanted everybody to have a day where they can just enjoy themselves
03:12
and not have to worry about like the kids taking care of
03:14
them or having to leave early because the kids are tired or
03:19
they're bored and I think we were pretty successful with that.
03:22
Definitely. And I did this,
03:25
did this decision upset anyone in your family or no?
03:29
They, they all understood everyone agreed.
03:31
And I think, I think it's because like in my family
03:34
there's a lot more like older kids and even then there's kind
03:37
of like if they didn't end up going,
03:39
but if they did,
03:41
it would have been respected.
03:43
And from my husband's side,
03:45
they gave him a few calls,
03:48
but we just made no exceptions because we didn't want to let
03:51
one kid go. And then at the I was going to
03:54
be like, no,
03:57
we just wanted to avoid all the getting people upset.
04:01
So we just made it a general rule and yeah,
04:04
we had no issues.
04:05
I was like security tackle the kids and the parents get kids
04:11
It's intense. But we brought up some good reasons that
04:14
I feel like again,
04:14
aren't selfish to you,
04:16
but like, are also making the parents again enjoy themselves.
04:18
Like having that responsibility.
04:20
Like I feel like you said a lot,
04:21
these parents have kids that are older.
04:23
So definitely that mindset of like,
04:24
I need a night to myself and this is it.
04:26
And if you can't enjoy the party,
04:28
I see, like,
04:29
then maybe again, don't waste your babysitter,
04:33
you know, on that one event,
04:35
I guess you could say.
04:37
And our wedding lasted until four in the morning.
04:39
So I'm pretty sure the kids would have been tired.
04:43
They were sleeping on the chair.
04:44
Exactly. Exactly. With the f the,
04:50
the, but I do remember my sisters were like,
04:56
20 years apart and she got married in the early nineties and
04:59
I was probably four or five and she had an old kid
05:03
wedding. So me and my nephews were kind of around the
05:06
same age in Mexican household.
05:08
So we went to just have dinner and then they took us
05:12
back home and left us with a babysitter.
05:15
I mean, I'm not mad at her that I wasn't at
05:17
her wedding. It was tiny.
05:19
So, and I think because it could just allow adults to
05:22
just kind of let loose and have more fun.
05:25
Not worry about knocking a kid over because there's a toddler on
05:28
the dance floor. Yeah,
05:32
I get you. And I was worried for the day of
05:35
my wedding if anybody was just going to show up with their
05:38
kids. But I made it very clear like I put it
05:40
on the wedding website.
05:42
I put it on my invitation even when they were RSD te
05:47
we would give them a reminder.
05:49
Hey, there's no kids.
05:51
It also helps save a lot of wedding when you have no
05:53
kids. Just throw that out there.
05:56
Well, thank you so much Cathy.
05:58
We really appreciate you coming on and telling us more about your
06:03
wedding and why you decided to go kid free on it.
06:09
Me, me, me.
06:10
No secu. But thank you for having me.
06:13
Of course, of course.
06:14
Thank you for coming on.
06:15
We'll see you. Ok.
06:16
Take care. Bye.
06:20
Congrats. That's smart.
06:23
She put it everywhere.
06:24
Yeah, it's like email website.
06:27
I would put it at the door too.
06:28
Oh, well, actually I know someone in here who was
06:32
a little kid that was Travieso and Tumb Pinche Pastel de Sua
06:38
on her wedding. So this little guy it was like Joel
06:43
Joel is that you,
06:44
that is Joel. So this is the cake.
06:49
This is with antes like literally before the mayhem.
06:53
And that's the, that's the little Diablito Del Travis.
06:58
He looks so innocent,
06:59
so sweet. How did you dunk it over?
07:02
Let's play hide and seek with the hide and seek.
07:05
He was playing the table under the table.
07:08
Oh my gosh. So this is why guys,
07:12
this is why I'm choosing to get free even though with Mira
07:16
Lo V Hermoso, he's a cute little kid.
07:18
It's like a sour patch kid,
07:20
but they're cuter at home on your wedding.
07:24
But any who let's move on.
