Honor a couple at your wedding?

Miss S., on July 9, 2014 at 3:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

I just need some advice, suggestions on this…. So, I have not been wanting to do the garter removal or bouquet toss, though FH wants to do them because they are "tradition." He really doesn't have a better reason than that one. I have been coming up with various alternatives but FH doesn't like any of them. Now, I just had this idea. One of my good friends was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. A bunch of stuff has happened since then in addition to that, and her friends have created donation websites because they are struggling financially. Because of my own expenses I have not been able to help her financially. So, I just thought maybe we could give them the bouquet to honor them as a couple (actually an awesome married couple), and attach a gift card for a nice restaurant to the bouquet. I know they don't have money to go out right now, so I thought this would be nice.

Now, if this was you (my friend) would mind if I did this?

    Before giving the bouquet, I would say like 2 sentences to everybody that instead of a bouquet and garter toss, we decided to honor a very special couple.

    I'd be very touched. And nobody would mind! Make sure people are told about how wonderful they are and why you chose to do it.

    Its hard being ill, and she deserves some sunshine in her life! I say go for it!
