About nap times and weddings?

NC Due to obvious reasons.

I don't think I am BU about being so shocked at this but I need another opinion.

So, is it unreasonable to ask the bride and groom if they could arrange a place in the hotel for someone to take a nap at some point during the day?

This someone is a grown women.

It's not a medical reason.

But I'm not sure if it is a cultural thing. The women is from Asia. She would have been in the country around a week at the time of the wedding so I don't know if she will be jetlagged still?

It just seems very very odd to me!

The wedding is a small ceremony starting at 12 with a meal and then afternoon tea type reception finishing at 8 pm.

Am missing something? I'm genuinely perplexed by this!

The last wedding we went to we were staying so it wasn't an issue but if we weren't I think I'd have booked a room anyway for a lie down; but then I have major back problems and just need to be flat sometimes - the dance floor isn't really the place for that!

PSML at roundtable's parents "napping" in the bridal suite before the bride and groom made it in there.

"could she be pregnant and not want people to know yet? hence knowing she is likely to feel a bit tired"
But if she didn't want people to know, why draw attention to herself by making such a notable request? IMO iI sounds more like someone used to being pandered to, than anything else.

Whatever the reason she's an adult. Give her the hotel's contact details so she can sort something out.

My dh to be was a bit miffed! Grin

My parents do actually have a nap each day but if they did decide to have a quick bunk up, what can I do?!

That room was bloody expensive, so at least it had good occupancy. Grin

It is a bit strange though op, I think I would ask if there was a problem so you could make sure the room was suitable, in order to get to the bottom of it. Or send them a link of room prices and the hotel phone number.

It's up to her to sort out a room.

No bloody chance. Book a room or nip home.
