DSS and wedding night

[FaithLoveandGrace]

Hi all, just wondering what you did with DCs on wedding night? Our wedding is a while away yet but we're thinking about what to do. DSS (who will be 5 at our wedding) will be with us from the day before our wedding until a week later. DP wants us to find someone to look after DSS overnight after the reception until we pick him up the next morning. I'm not too sure though. DP's parents will get totally wasted on the night and tbh I wouldn't trust them to look after DSS so they're out of the question. We could ask my parents (my Mum doesn't drink) but DP's parents will flip their lid if they know we've asked someone else. I'm half tempted to say we'll just go home and bring him back with us instead of booking into a hotel without him. Any thoughts on how to handle it?

I completely agree with PeruvianFoodLover.

On a side note, your Ex sounds like an inept wanker Whatever21.

Whoops - my comment was only after reading half the thread - I didn't realise a full fight had escalated!!

Gosh I must be a terrible mother. My mum is having DD on our wedding night and DSCs are being taken back to their mums by my soon to be in laws. We discussed this with DPs ex as soon as we got engaged and she was more than happy to have them that night but understandably didn't want to have to pick them up from the wedding.
I know it is only one night but it is such a treat to have a night of being just us I'm not saying no to our willing volunteers :)
