My eldest son is 29, he is getting married next year and obviously we are over the moon. I hate flying, he is fully aware of this. But he and his partner have decided they are getting married in Italy. DS is British, his partner is Swiss-Italian and they live in France. Now I know this journey is technically doable by train, which is what we will end up doing but I can’t help but feel they have made quite a selfish choice to get married in the south of Italy (her family are all from the far north of Italy/swiss border region so it’s not as though it’s her wanting to get married at home). They have also complained that people seem unhappy to pay for the flights but at the end of the way, there is a cost of living crisis!
They are keeping the wedding pretty small, not loads of people and mainly close friends, all guests are invited to the whole day. None the less I can’t help but feel it’s quite selfish to choose a wedding location that is difficult for almost everyone to get to. Considering our family are all in the UK, hers in Switzerland/North Italy and their friends in France with them, I can’t really understand why they wouldn’t just get married in France as a happy middle ground.
AIBU to think this is quite selfish?
