Hi
Just looking for thoughts I think (or to broadcast my own at least!)
OH proposed last year, we both love Canada and if it weren't for family would move there in an instant. His parents are no longer with us, we advised my mum and step father of plan to marry in Canada (and invited them) went down like a storm in a teacup - why can't we marry at local registry office like everyone else (have had this response to pretty much every decision I've ever made - why can't you be more like...why go to uni when you can work at Tesco that sort of thing) I was pretty pissed off thought they'd be happy and respect our choices.
Now we are still planning to elope but have a 10 yr old who we wanted present at wedding, obviously with parents refusing to fly we have the dilemma of the fact we are staying in Canada for a month.
Options;
BA no longer seem to do unaccompanied flights, air Canada do. Thought of flying her out with us and then spendi a day getting her back to airport and sending her back to UK alone using accompanied service but realisation is hitting in that logistically this seems to be a nightmare AND is going to be an emotional wrenche seeing her go back on her own and no doubt she will be highly upset or maybe I'm worrying she would be she couldn't stay as one would miss too much school two we are going to really remote places she would get bored and of course want a honeymoon alone.
So been thinking, elope two of us spend a month over there, come back have a blessing wear the dress again, have parents and daughter present again would be v small affair likely just the five of us then go for a meal
Interested to hear if anyone else has used accompanied flight service before for international flights to see if we do drop option one.
Have been away four weeks before without daughter has been fine only had emotional issues when it came to phoning a few days before we were due to fly back so would avoid calls again and stick to emails
