I completely sympathize with her choice not to have children at the wedding or reception, but I think her quashing the idea of a babysitter or day care is just being rather bratty herself.

I don't know what the college situation was like, but we got married at the chapel at my grad school and had the reception in a hall there. I think we paid $200.00 for both. If you have access to a college for a reception, they can be quite pretty and relatively inexpensive.
