not having my father at my wedding

Sorry to hear of your loss samantha...

there are many things you could do, have a picture of him in a locket, you could sew the locket to your dress, or in your bouqet.

Have a picture of him at the reception, perhaps with other loved ones who cant be there.

i'm sure whatever you choose, whether its verbal or visible will be perfect.

How about lighting a candle when you walk down the aisle or afterwards?

Sorry to hear your very sad loss and hope you manage to have a lovely day knowing your dad will be watching you and as proud as punch.

xx

Hi Samantha

So sorry to hear your sad news. But try and enjoy your day, knowing that your dad will be there smiling down on all of you.

It would be great if you had a picture of him with you on the day to feel that he is close. And maybe you could do a little speech about him on your day, telling funny stories from the past.

I know everything will work out perfectly for your big day.

Hi there,

Im so sorry to hear what you are coping with at the moment.

Did your Dad have a favorite song, or type of music which could be played at some point in the ceremony or reception?

Perhaps there is something of his you could carry with you?

Awwww, that's awful for you. I'm sorry about your loss.

Could you mention him in the speeches?

Play his favourite song?

Ask the vicar to do a prayer for him?

Have a photo of him at the reception?

Hello and welcome, by the way ?

Hi Samantha

I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad.

How about wearing a photo inside a locket or playing his favourite song at the reception? I think one or two of the other posts suggested these.

Hi samantha,

i am so sorry to hear of your loss hun ((((((BIG HUGS))))))

my g/dad died 2004 & i am having his wedding ring tied to my ankle so he can 'walk down the aisle' with me

also having his picture in a locket which will be sown to my bouquet

and our favours will be trolly tokens from the macmillan nurses who help him (and us) in his final days.

it has been said before but enjoy your day, he will be looking down xx

That's a beautiful idea Hillier.

Very sorry to here that Samantha.

Definitely agree with the previous suggestions....especially about having a song dedicated to him as I'm sure there'll be other family members there missing him too.

Never be afraid of tears at your wedding. Weddings are supposed to be emotional....its a big thing.....tears of sadness are just as important and memorable as tears of joy.

So sorry to hear this...Think the ideas are lovely.

I like the candle idea from Purrfect Gems, and Hillier's idea.

My Gran passed away, and we're going to have a collection box on the bar for donations to the Hospice who cared for her before she died, with a lillte pic and a few words to show its in her memory.

Sorry to hear of your loss. The ideas mentioned are lovely.

So that my grandparents are with me on my day I have a small photo frame on a ribbon that I am going to get the florist to attatch to my bouquet.
