Travel agents are hearing from clients canceling travel plans because of the Zika virus.
"We're getting all sorts of questions," said Catherine Banks, with Legacy Travel in Plano, which specializes in destination weddings.
About 30 people in the past week have canceled nearly a dozen trips, including two destination weddings with pregnant brides, she said.
"Had one just an hour ago cancel, where the bride just found out she's pregnant and their wedding is in Jamaica, and so her doctor doesn't advise her to go," said Banks.
"And we've had lots of other weddings – guests of other weddings – where the bride isn't pregnant, but the weddings aren't going to go on," Banks added. "But individual guests may be pregnant, you know.
Everyone's in the same phase of life, people are getting married, having babies, and so you'll have guests that are pregnant and of course they call and cancel."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says pregnant women should consider postponing travel to Zika-affected areas, and those trying to become pregnant should talk with their doctor.
