We are going to a very local wedding and hadn't planned to stay overnight because there is no evening reception and the wedding breakfast is at 3. I've just found out tonight that in order to be allowed to be at the wedding breakfast, we have to stay at the hotel because there is a rule about residents only being allowed to eat in the hotel, including for weddings! To me this is a crazy rule - I don't appreciate being forced into paying over £100 to stay at a hotel 10 minutes from home, but DH is the best man so we have to go and have to be there for the meal. It just seems really odd and annoying! I know we will have to just suck it up but it means finding somewhere for DD to stay overnight, we were just going to have a babysitter for a few hours. And we'll have to put the dog and cats into kennels, and they say it's a 3 night minimum stay so we'd have to pay for 3 nights. All seems a lot of expense for a wedding that is so local. I can completely understand the hotel having a policy of meals for residents only at the moment but I'd have thought it would be a bit different for a wedding.
