Suggest for me a kid friendly wedding abroad?

[Peckarollover]

Tough one eh!

We have now cancelled any plans of grand wedding and have decided on family holiday/wedding/honeymoon combined.

We want a short flight and family friendly but also able to get married there easily.

The only place in the brochures seem to be malta?

Italy?
Anywhere in Europe I should think is fairly easy isn't it?

Here's some

Cyprus

italy

this one has greece and austria short haul

Ahhhh, memories....

We got married in Sri Lanka pre-children but there was a family there with two gorgeous girls who were 3 and 6 and they had a fabulous time The food was fab and I would have no concerns about taking my two there (7 months and 3).

Also, it was not a conveyor belt wedding, the hotel only did two weddings per day (one is AM, one in PM) at the very most .

The only thing would be the 10 hour flight, too long?

One of my friends got married recently in Cyprus, she took her 3 year old with her and had a lovely time too. Have you thought about there?

Has anyone been to Malta?

I went to Malta for a long weekend a couple of years ago. Being totally honest, I wasn't keen. We went at the end of May, so it was hot but not boiling. There's a big problem with pollution on the island from cars, vans etc. It made me feel really ill, the smell was awful, but I was probably sensitised to it as I was 36 weeks pregnant at the time.

It might be fine at other times of the year eg Autumn and Winter.

What time of year are you going.Some nice hotels in halkidiki in greece do weddings

There is a thread on www.halkidiki.com about weddings at the sani club hotel

Italy, Italy, Italy
we got married in Florence, with nephews in attendance ..was fabulous and is close enough and very family friendly .. you need to be there a few days before (think it was 4)

we used weddingsabroad.com and have no complaints they were wonderful

ooo .. go for Italy the food is stupendous, the people are wonderful

We are looking to go mid June, early July or early September - need to sort out when we can go out of these DP shifts permitting

I would suggest Spain because our wedding here was great. But you can't do that unless you're resident. You can do it in italy though and most of the reasons why Spain was so good apply to italy too.

Listen to twigg!

They are not good months for Malta because of the car fumes.

Italy, as Twiglett suggests sounds like a lovely idea.

Can you make it late Sep? Then you can buy all the bridesmaid dresses etc in the sales! (also flights and stuff will be cheaper.)

Im soooooo bloody indecisive

We have now decided to have the wedding here in Newcastle (due to pressure from family to see the ceremony) so we are looking for a short haul flight holiday/honeymoon.

Im thinking Majorca/Menorca

Specific recomendations would be great!

We were married in Florida Keys, spent a week there first then the day after the wedding went up to Orlando for a week. Lovely and child friendly.

But a 9 hour flight.

Ooops sorry I was too slow

Pecka

LOL What the hell is wrong with me

Do you think my indecisiveness has some deeper meaning? ie I shouldnt bother?

are you sure it's your indecisiveness or pressure from friends and family??????

OOO I dont know

There isnt that much pressure except we have had a few "I would be so dissapointed not to see you marry*

The main pressure is money as ideally I would love a big proper day here then a honey moon.

The more and more I think about it though I feel like it being JUST Dp and I - might even just spring it on him one day soon that we are going to register office in our jeans then at least it will be done!
