 and my reaction, after reading all the posts was, in typical Jewish fashion, a
question: why should there be any minhag at all?  There are so many differing
factors that are relevant in trying to do the best thing for both the children
and the marrying couple; 
 
On the contrary. Would you be able to tell your child "Sorry, you can't come to
my wedding. My new husband/wife doesn't like you/may not like you/feels
uncomfortable with you around/may feel uncomfortable with you around, etc."
 
Much better to have a fixed minhag. Sorry kid, you can't come, that's the
minhag!
