Half our guests are now stranded in Europe. Nightmare! No best man!

Thank you so much, Iceland!

    Oh no! Heard about this on the news (the Vocano, not your wedding!).
    Keep your eye on http://www.baa.com/ for advice & info.
    Can they get here by Eurostar instead?

    OOh, hadn't thought of that... They're pretty scattered though - Madrid, Amsterdam, Bremen and Jersey I think...

    def try eurostar, and the ferrys. I bet if you ring the companies up and cry about it being your wedding etc they'd be able to sort something out and maybe do some deals on the prices?? worth a shot surely

    Worth seeing if your wedding insurance covers this too - you may be able to help reimberse any additional travel costs your guests have :)

    A lot of the insurance companies are calling it an act of God.

    Hope is that it will settle down & flights should be more normal tomorrow.

    not as traumatic but my in-laws were supposed to be flying over this weekend to meet my parents (first time meeting, we didn't want it to be on the eve of the wedding lol) so now it might not happen! are higher forces trying to tell me something? :rotfl:
