Dad can't make it to my wedding

You could do both! Have a blessing ceremony followed by a pre-wedding celebration meal. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, it's more the fact that you are marking the occasion that is important.

On your actual wedding day, is it likely to be at a time when your father would be able to watch it live? If so, then make sure you can live-stream it for him. If you are having orders of service printed, then send him a copy in advance so he can have it with him as he watches. I did that for a couple of my elderly relatives who couldn't attend our wedding, and they loved it.

You might also want to carry something belong to him down the aisle with you - and if the groomsmen are wearing a specific tie for the wedding, then you could also consider sending him one.

Something one of my friends did when her mum couldn't attend a family wedding due to ill health - her mum dressed up in her wedding finery, they got the largest screen possible and zoom-called the bride and groom, so there is a photo of the bride and groom holding a screen with her face on it, and she has one of her by her computer with them on it - a lovely way of including her in the wedding photos, so you might want to consider doing something similar.

It's such a shame he can't be with you, but there are still loads of things you can do so that both you and he feel like he is being included in your day.

Great initiative—getting certified can definitely enhance credibility and open doors. There’s a guide explaining how to obtain caregiver certification in PA—from eligibility and training requirements to exams and application procedures. In the middle, the portion titled Here’s how to get certified as a caregiver in Pennsylvania lays out step-by-step instructions: approved training programs, required clinical hours, testing, and state registry. It also highlights benefits like greater employment opportunities, higher pay, and recognition from healthcare organizations. It gave me the confidence and direction I needed to take that step officially!
