Commitment Ceremony for dying Grandma

Pastor Dave, FH and I

That's so sweet. I'm happy you guys got to include her in your day! Memories like that are the best. Congrats!

That is awesome. I would have done the same

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Congratulations on your commitment ceremony.

I'm leaking from my eye a little. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.

That is so sweet, and beautiful! How special that your whole family (but especially the two of you) got to share this with her!

Wow that is so sweet, I'm so glad she enjoyed it, I'm sure it meant the world to her that she got to witness that. How touching, and congrats on your little wedding, it is very special and I'm sure something you'll be happy you did for the rest of your lives!

Sweetest thing! I lost my grandmother 3 weeks before our wedding, it was so quick that we did not get a chance to do this.

You will always remember this moment, possibly more than your 7/4 :-)

What a beautiful and everlasting sentiment, and a wonderful way to remember her. I am so very sorry for what you and FH must be going through with having to say goodbye to her, but I can't imagine a better way to do it.

I'm glad he was able to share that moment with her. So very sweet.

What a loving and wonderful thing to do. I just love where you guys held her hand too. Thank you for an uplifting story about what is really important. I am sure she couldn't have felt more loved.

I'm glad you were able to do that for her (and for your FH as well, I'm sure). Now you'll have two special dates together.

That is really sweet of you guys to do. You are both great people

I did a hand-fasting ceremony for a couple in a similar situation. The FOG was not expected to live until their official wedding date. I had him tie the cords around the B&G's hands.

What a wonderful thing to do! I can only imagine how much it meant to her and it will give your FH a special memory to hold on the day of the actual wedding. Congratulations!

Thank you for the sweet posts. I'm so glad we did this. We found out a couple of hours ago, Grandma has passed away. She talked about our "wedding" constantly in the last couple of days and I know it made her very happy. I am consoled by this.

Sorry for your loss

What a blessing you got to do this for her. Your story is very similar to mine with the ICU wedding for my dying father. It was our legal one, but we plan to celebrate the happy one. Most of us, including the minister, were crying through the first one. It meant the world to dad, and he passed 4.5 days later. I treasure those memories.

@Susan M how much time between both ceremonies? We have a difference of three months. I hope having that space of time help with the healing.
