I know this will sound horrible but did anyone change the destination of their wedding based on health issues of family members?
We have been talking about having a beach wedding and keeping it small with only parents, grandparents, and siblings. After spending more time thinking about it out of the 8 grandparents, one has cancer, one is on cancer medication, one has later stage of dementia, and three of them struggle getting around. I can't imagine the travel for any of them being easy. It would be alot of pressure on our parents to take care of their parents for this event and the travel.
I'm I wrong for trying to talk my fh into maybe doing something closer to home? So we can iclude these special people but also relive some of the stress and pressure off our parents as well ( isn't it supposed to be a memorable event for the parents too?) I know aunts and uncles would step up and help with grandparent such as making sure they can get around or getting them food or driving them.
I know I'm still almost two years out from my wedding date, but we were hoping to share some details around Thanksgiving. I would never tell family this is our reason behind not doing a beach wedding but I'm sure many would most likely know it might be part of the reasoning.
