Hi All

I live in Lancashire, UK, and have 3 different carers/PAs who help me in the mornings. I'm getting married in Italy later this year and want one of my PAs to come out to Italy for a couple of days to help me on my wedding morning etc. Normally my partner/wife-to-be helps me get dressed etc but obviously this isn't an option on the morning of our wedding.

Does anyone know if I can get some extra funds to pay for my PA over the two or three days she'll be in Italy? Can i get her flights paid for maybe?

Any advice or info gratefully received.

you can try. I asked to take PA away with me, they said there was no extra money but i could use existing money. I paid for her time as usual but also her room and evening meal
