Love Island's Olivia Attwood says she thinks children at a wedding are 'unacceptable'

Love Island's Olivia Attwood has said she thinks it's 'unacceptable' to have children at a wedding.

Appearing on Jamie Laing's Private Parts podcast, Olivia, who was known for her strong opinions during her time on Love Island, spoke out about children at weddings. She even went so far as to say that if she had her own children, she wouldn't want them at her wedding.

Her comments divided people, as some agreed that children ruin weddings, while others argued that children are an important part of your life, so they should be included in big life events.

On the podcast, she said: "Kids at weddings thing for me is absolutely unacceptable. Even if I had my own children, I wouldn't invite them.

"I haven't got a baby yet, so I don't know that love that they talk about. But, when I see like the bride with this little thing hanging off her dress, it's little grubby hands, I'm like what the f**k. You know, Vera Wang, silk dress, and you put your little grubby chicken finger hands all over it."

She also described her hatred for hearing babies crying during a wedding ceremony. People in the comments were divided on her opinions.

Some agreed with Olivia, one person said: "Couldn't agree more!" and another said: "Agree. I didn’t want kids at mine. Someone brought theirs uninvited. They screamed throughout the ceremony. The mum wouldn’t leave the church either.". Others remembered being at weddings as children, and ruining the ceremony. One person said: "as a kid who went to weddings I either don’t remember them, got extremely bored or traumatised from all the drunk adults. waste of money & an invite".

Others disagreed, wanting to have children at their own wedding. One person said: "My son will be at mine and so will my nephew. they are apart of my life forever so why would I not include them in my special day" and another said: "Each to their own! I had children at mine. My own son was 4 months old at the time and was as quiet as a mouse.".
