Should people be asking for favors of the bride and groom after the wedding?

We hired a car service to take us from home to the airport for our honeymoon and since my sister and her boyfriend were also leaving that day, we invited them to join us. If you’re already driving to the airport anyway I don’t think this is a big deal but it’s obviously up to you.

If brother is of age to drink, esspecially, arrange an airport van or a local taxi that does airport runs, and schedule it a month in advance to pick him up in time to be at the airport 2 hours early. Done.

Are both of you heading there at the same time? If so, I would take him but that’s just me, if you have to go out of your way for it, then that’s a different story

This should not be your responsibility at all. It would have been different if you offered but clearly the only things you want to do is spend time alone with your new husband.

Tell him to call an Uber and tell her that you and your new hubby will be too busy getting the honeymoon started 😜😜

Anyone can ask you for favors any time, and you’re entitled to say no— especially if it was your wedding day! At the same time, I can’t imagine NOT doing a favor for someone that was easy and logical *just because* it was my wedding day. So, if we were literally driving to the same airport at the same time, yes, I’d definitely take him . If his flight left 2 hours earlier than mine and I would have to leave my wedding earlier because of it? Heck no. If I had booked a private limo with rose petals and champagne ? Maybe not. Just getting an Uber and he’d be doing the same? Of course let’s all hop in together!

I would suggest getting him an Uber or Lyft. Prearrange it for him (as a present to your mom)

This is why we have Uber, Lyft, cabs and other guests. I would say it is absolutely 200% not your problem.

If you're heading there at the same time, I don't see the issue.

That is so inappropriate. Politely decline, you’re not a taxi service and it’s not your job to run errands for anybody immediately after you’re wedding.

I can see where it might be annoying, but I also see what PPs are saying and your mothers thoughts here. If it's as simple as him riding in the car with you when you are already en-route to the airport, this doesn't seem like a big deal or that he will be interfering with your relaxing. If it means you leaving 6 hours earlier than you intended to and sitting around the airport all day, or missing something you had planned, going a completely different day than you, that's a different story.

View Quoted Comment Agree, 100%!!

Come on. It's your brother, you're all going to the airport, don't be like that. It's not a good look.

I don't see the problem with asking, and there's no problem with you saying no if it doesn't work for you. There's no universal rule that nobody can ask the married couple for a favor for a set amount of time (how long?) after their wedding.

Take him to the airport. Your mother worked hard on your wedding, she probably is still dealing with guests that remain and other "after the wedding" duties, your brother flew home to be at your wedding.

Do a nice thing for your mom, a nice thing for your brother.........start your marriage off with doing nice things for people who were nice to you for your big day.

Have your brother drive while you and your groom make out in the back seat!

It sounds like she's just asking you to bring him with you to somewhere you're already going. I don't see why this would be a problem, or even be considered a "favor".

It depends on the context. If you're all needing to be at the airport around roughly the same time, then I don't see any reason to say no. If it would mean having to go way out of your way to take him then I can understand saying no. I don't think that getting married in and of itself is a reason to say no, especially when they have had to travel to attend your wedding.

It’s rude. She’s out of line. She needs to take him or pay for an Uber. Seriously.

View Quoted Comment Yes! ALL OF THIS! Start your wedding off by doing nice things for people!
