Destination weddings <\/a>are a popular choice for couples who want to tie the knot in a beautiful location with guaranteed good weather<\/a>. But they’re not cheap to organise or attend, and couples <\/a>should understand that some invited guests may not want to make the trip overseas for their big day.<\/p>\n

And one mum <\/a>is risking a fallout with one of her closest friends after it became apparent she wouldn’t be able to travel to attend her wedding later this year – because the bride and groom have failed to consider childcare <\/a>for all the guests who have kids.<\/p>\n

The woman said she expected a creche to be set up at the wedding venue but when she asked about childcare plans, her friend looked “scrambled” and told her she’d organise a “local nanny” to take care of the children.<\/p>\n

However, the mum has insisted she doesn’t want a stranger looking after her son, so is now considering dropping out of the wedding completely – which could ruin her friendship.<\/p>\n

In a post on Mumsnet<\/a>, she said: “My friends are having a destination wedding in a European country where one of their parents has a house. The house is practically in the middle of nowhere. The nearest airport is about two hours away, plus an hour’s drive or a bus that comes who knows when.<\/p>\n

“Most guests have young children or babies, and so do our friends. One of them has a family with young children coming from far away\/not in the UK.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“They didn\u2019t include childcare considerations in their wedding plans. After I asked if they had considered some form of creche at the venue, they looked confused and scrambled, and said they’ll arrange some local nanny to look after all the children in the AirBnB where some of the family guests are staying.<\/p>\n
