Hi, Sue ~
Thank you for your reply and also for the helpful suggestions! I wouldn't hesitate to make inquiries about short-distance transports if the event were something I was paying a price to attend, or, in the case of my grandkids' outdoor sporting games, a golf-cart "lift" to the bleachers. In fact, almost always, they provided that service for those of us who were grandparents or anyone physically disabled. It was really appreciated, believe me! And the guys driving the carts were clearly "in their element"!
In my particular case, attending this outdoor wedding & reception could easily be a disaster, as I need (make that NEED) to be within a ridiculously close - or easy - distance to a restroom. This is a detail I didn't disclose in my reply to @jillb329.... I'm never sure just how my body will respond to restaurant food. It's just another concern adding to the mobility issue. I'm grateful for my amazingly understanding family, and for the knowledge that they'd rather see me in my safe and "happy place" (home) than struggling to be part of a gathering that is more stressful than enjoyable for me.
Meanwhile, prayers for the happy couple, the lovely ceremony, great weather, and God's blessings over all! Peace, Barb
