Deceased loved one

Angelica, on September 13, 2019 at 7:37 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4

My grandma raised me and was the most important person in my life, but I lost her to cancer this year. She was going to walk me down the aisle and dance with me for the "father/daughter" dance. I know she wanted to fight just to be there. I was thinking of playing "you should be here" by cole swindell and making an announcement having who ever wants to come up and dance with me to do so and take turns with guest throughout the song. Does this sound like a good idea? Any other good ideas for my walk down the aisle and dance?

    I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's very tough to go through. I've seen people add a piece of their loved one's jewelry to the bouquet, so they can be with them walking down the aisle. You can also have something in her handwriting sewed into the inside of your gown. And of course a frame somewhere of her at the reception. You could add a small picture to your bouquet of her, if you want it more prevelant that she is walking you down the aisle. There are many options.

    I think that sounds like a great idea. I'm so sorry that you lost your grandma, it sounds like you had an amazing relationship. As for walking down the aisle, there are lots of options depending on what you're comfortable with. You can walk alone, with a close friend/family member, or even with your FH (that's the norm in some cultures!). I hope you figure out what's best for you!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I like all of the above ideas.
    Maybe, when you are playing the song, you can dance with your husband, but have a screen showing pictures of you and your grandmother as you dance. Like a movie of your life together, as a memorial.

    She will be there with you, every step of the way. I truly believe she won't miss your big day.
    She will have a front row seat, in Heaven.❤

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Angelica.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmotherSmiley heart

    I love that you're searching for ways to honor her memory on your wedding day. I think having a dance to your song will be a wonderful moment.

    I personally love the photo charm which you can attach to your bouquet. My friend got one created on Etsy and it was gorgeous.
