People are divided after a Love Island star said she thinks it's "unacceptable" to have children at a wedding.
Olivia Attwood, known for her strong opinions, said she thinks having children at a wedding is so unacceptable if she had kids she wouldn't bring them along. She also spoke about how she hated hearing babies cry during the ceremony.
The strong statement has divided opinion - some said a wedding should be about the couple, and that they have the right to choose whether or not to ban kids in order to help the day run smoothly. Others said that kids are as much a part of the family as any adult relative would be, and so should be allowed to attend the festivities as they would if they were older.

Speaking on Jamie Laing's Private Parts 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, its 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."

Some people agreed, with Katrina Mary Duffey commenting: "I’ve got a kid and totally agree my mum asked if she would be a bridesmaid… I ignored that question." Others said that parents "had a better time" when kids weren't allowed to attend.
Yet, a lot of people didn't. Tim Bunsen said "She’s gonna be a great mum..." Chandani said: "We all were kids at one point, it’s what makes families. They gonna be there, it’s life... but each to their own."
