Army patrol at wedding!

Hmm not really sure what to think of this:

1 side of me says - surely the safety of your wedding guests (the most important people to you in the world) is the main thing and you should be grateful for the extra satey and precautions the RAF are taking..................

1 side says - I completely understand your reservations.

Not much help am I??

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest and would take what security you can.

I have friends who had to have police searches done before the wedding and this wasn't anywhere near NI (to do with their ranks)

and our wedding at a hotel happened to coincide with a memorial march of some sort (again nowhere near NI) and the armed police and forces were using our hotel as their headquarters. so there I was off to the hairdressers in the morning with men with sniffer dogs and guns wandering around everywhere. Our guests had to follow diversions etc.

Men in uniform....hmmmmm....CAN I COME TO YOUR WEDDING?!?!? ?

In all seriousness I can sort of see where your h2b is coming from, thanks to the stupidity of some people you need to be careful and take all the precautions available to you...just think yourself as royalty for the day ?

Hi Docshell,

As someone who has lived in NI all her life & just having heard that another police officer has just been shot dead in the last hour...I would not begrudge your wedding that extra security. Although it is highly unlikely anything would happen, there are a minority of selfish cruel people out there that seem intent on making their mark. Starting to get shivers about all of this.

Another northern ireland girl here and frankly, i would either take the security or not have anyone there in uniform unless the wedding is in a barracks.

I def wouldnt feel comfortable in a hotel venue with hubby in uniform. not with what is happening at the minute.
