We have invited my future Husbands Aunt to our wedding, and we knew there would be a couple of extra considerations for her as she has MS and is in a wheel chair. She has recently taken a slight turn and has been finding everything a little harder, so she has asked if her carer can come and help her at the Wedding. Obviously this is not a problem.
The wedding is a 3 hour drive from home, so it will be a hard trip for her, but she is adamant that she wants to come, which we are happy about. Her Carer is someone she has had coming to help her for a number of years.
The issue we have is that numbers are very tight, and we have friends that we haven't managed to invite due to the number restrictions at the venue. The venue have said that we have to include the carer in the wedding numbers if she joins us at the tables, but not if she eats separately to the wedding party.
My future MIL thinks it is rude to ask her to eat separately to us. However, I was thinking it would be a nice break for her, as in reality, she is at work and would probably rather be somewhere else than at a wedding with a load of people she doesn't know.
Does anyone have any experience with this, or if you could give me your opinion? Thanks
