? Child-free wedding - possible faux pas!

[unfitmother]

DH have been invited to a wedding of an old university friend of his from 20 yrs ago.
I know him but haven't seen him for at least 10 yrs, I've never met the bride. Invite was for DH and I only which is perfectly reasonable in the circumstances and I was happy with that.
Wedding is 300 miles away and DH has family there. DCs are coming with us, staying the night with us tonight and going to BILs in the morning.

I've just phoned the hotel and they semmed to be making a big deal of the fact that we had dcs.

Should I have asked before bringing them?

'hence us being put in a 3 bed cottage for the price of a family room'

Sounds like a good deal to me!!

She didn't say it was a problem oranges.

Let's keep things polite and reasonable.

I think that sounds lovely - the hotel know the wedding is a child-free affair, so they're accomodating you, and putting you in a lovely cottage for the price of a family room.

I can see why you felt guilty though.

Don't worry about it.

I'll make sure I enjoy it!
If it is child free we'll have loads of space to keep them out of the way.

No need to feel guilty or awkward about the children being in the hotel if you've booked adequate accommodation for you all.

If the couple want their actual wedding to be childfree that's up to them. I don't suppose the hotel is interested in that fact though.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Thanks Quenelle.

I don't even know for a fact that it is a CF wedding!
