Wedding
Hi all,
I rarely say anything on here but I am getting a little nervous instead of being excited. It’s my son’s wedding on the 8th August (30 guests only) it’s being held in a stunning listed property, the problem is I have Secondary Progressive MS and the toilets are downstairs with no lifts, I have a weak bladder and starting to ‘PANIC’! Any suggestions in how I can deal with this?
Thanks from a very anxious

@peggy7 , have you contacted the venue about this issue? They might have an option available for you. They are obliged, under the Equality Act 2010, to ensure that their facilities are accessible to all.
It may be worth a call to the site and ask them how they accommodate to stay within the law. I know in the US there are some exclusions to the accessibility laws but most venues have found a way to accommodate all. I've never tried alternatives like "go girl" urination device. Maybe an alternative if there is a private place? My husband has UC so was very nervous about starting the building process on property we had bought before we could even have a "porta potty" delivered but found a device they sell for camping for people to take backwoods. Basically just a fancy bucket with a lid like a toilet where you could just haul it out. It worked for the initial weeks until we got to the point that we had a driveway in and a porta potty could be delivered for use...not the best option but it served it's purpose! There is always a way!
