My cousin is getting married in Fiji later this year. Naturally it's too far and expensive for most of the relatives to attend but my sister and her husband will be there to represent our family and some other cousins will be attending.
My sister and brother in law will not be able to afford a separate holiday as well but will be staying on in Fiji for ten days after the wedding as will some of the cousins and a few friends of the B&G. They have got a special deal from the hotel.
However my aunt, the mother of the bride, has now contacted those intending to stay and told them that she feels it's unfair of guests to stay in the same hotel and location as the B&G as they are entitled to some privacy and peace on their honeymoon. She has requested that all those intending to stay on in Fiji move to another location on the Island and book into a different hotel.
Apart from the extra cost and inconvenience, surely if you expect people to fly all the way to Fiji for your wedding you would also expect that most of the guests will combine it with a holiday as it's such an expensive trip?
AIBU to think that if the B&G want a private and peaceful honeymoon they should get married at home and then fly to Fiji? (Not that I have any reason to believe this request has come from the couple themselves).
