     friend assumes her child will be in wedding  

Please help. I just got engaged and I plan on having my lifelong friend as my Matron of Honor. However, she already told her daughter that she will be the flower girl and my fiance and i do not want kids in or at the wedding. Years ago I kinda said "okay" in thrown on the spot way if i was to ever get married. I love my friend's child, but she doesnt listen to adults very well. We just dont want to chance the ceremony having interruptions or outbursts from any children being there.

It was definitely rude of your friend to assume that her child would be a member of the wedding party. You need to just sit down with her and explain that you are not planning on having any children in the wedding party, and that none will be permitted to attend at all. She needs to realized that it will create an awkward situation for you and your family to have to explain why one child is allowed, but others aren't. Be prepared to lose her as MOH, though - no matter how wrong that seems. If it's important enough for you to draw the line at kids and their attendance, it also has to be important enough to ruffle feathers enough that things may or may not smooth out after the wedding.

Good luck and I hope the situation resolves in a friendly way.

I agree. The sooner you have that heart-to-heart the better.
