[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice as someone who's BTDT is to allow plenty of extra time, use mobility devices as much as possible (start with rollators and/or canes & then progress to lightweight travel wheelchairs), and be gracious. I've traveled abroad with an elderly person who needed support, and it was especially tough with the cobblestone streets, but we made it through with a lot of muscle and patience.[/quote] You were incredibly lucky and this should not be inspo for others.Terrible accidents happen with elderly on cobblestone streets, but at least this was not your special day. Allow the young people to have their special days and allow parents to enjoy them. I would insist on having an aide for them and they must use what is needed cane/wheelchair or it's a no go. They can take risks on their own time, but on a grandchild's special day it isn't all about them and their denial and stubborness.[/quote]
