Claire and Aaron have decided that they have to invite children to their wedding, there’s just too many young kids in their immediate families. Claire has a solution, hire a nanny (or two!) to watch all the kids in a private room at the wedding venue. That way all their brothers and sisters will be able to have fun and have their kids come (most of them said there’s no one to watch the kids) but the kids won’t actually be in the reception so it will remain child-free. Aaron thinks that most parents won’t leave their kids “locked in a room” with a stranger for four hours. Plus, it’s strange to say “bring your kids, but they have to be in a separate area”. What do you think? (35:00)
