Thank you. I quite like the disco bit, strange at my age I know. I don't really like like the idea of canapés and photos for two hours before the meal. But I may have to do that.

I would go to the wedding and the reception and leave early evening, we have done this twice in the last few years with no problems

Personally, I wouldn’t feel right, not going to the wedding ceremony. But ofcourse, it’s extremely tiring. I know - my son’s wedding!!! However, we took a room in the Hotel and went up to relax after the ceremony. And I was younger then.
So, I can understand how you feel. Difficult one …..

I think you should go to the ceremony and breakfast as I'm sure the couple would want to have you in their photos.

Just leave early evening when it all starts to get too much

I'd do (and have done) as GGravy says.
That way you go to the important bit, do all the socialising while the photos are happening and don't have to shout to make yourself heard above a disco!

Why don’t you go to the wedding and the breakfast and then leave when you’ve run out of steam or don’t drink alcohol so you are then able to drive to the different venues.

Can you not leave before midnight? That’s what I’d do.

I would go to the ceremony, wedding breakfast and leave probably around 8/8.30pm

My nephew has invited husband and me to his wedding. The ceremony is at 12.30 for 1pm and the wedding breakfast is at 4 pm followed by disco until 12. I don't think I can last that long. We are both in our mid 70's

Is it rude to go to the wedding breakfast and stay for the evening which ends at 12 midnight? Thereby missing the ceremony and the photos. Its rural and no accomodation nearby when we can have a rest without taxi there and back due to drinking and driving. All advice helpful thanks.
