Loss of your mother and planning yourself

Not planning with mine. Unfortunately she's not a nice person so hasn't been part of my life for years.


Your idea of honoring yours sounds wonderful.

Im Sorry You Lost Your Mom. I Couldnt Imagine That Pain.

Im Not Planning Anything With My Mom, Shes Not Really The Type To Help With Things Like That And We Have Different Styles And Opinions. Ive Been Planning Alone For 7 Months Because My FH Is On Deployment. It's hard But I Know That The Wedding Will Be Truly Ours In The End.

I Wish You The Best Of Luck And I Hope You Have A Wonderful Wedding.

I lost mine in 2008 before I graduated from University. I lived on the other side of the world and moved back for a few months only to relocate to the northern part of my state and eventually got a state job (she worked for the county we lived in) and bought a house and met the most amazing person ever. She never got to meet him. He lost his mom in 2007. We both wish they could be there.
I know he struggles more with his loss than mine (I miss her immensely but I know she would be proud about everything I've accomplished, his would be proud of his too.) I've always been more independent and lone wolf in my past and I owe a lot of that to her. We have talked about in memory of table at our wedding too.

Hey girl. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I lost my mom this past summer. It’s been incredibly hard to plan without my mom.


My fiancé believe in signs, so when we heard one of the songs she used to sing playing we knew it was her, and when I went dress shopping there was butterfly near the doorway.
To honor her at my wedding, I am having my grandma( my moms mom) and my aunt (her sister) carrying a framed photo of her to place on her memorial chair for the ceremony. We are also doing a table where the cocktail hour is in honor of those we lost from both sides.
Hope this helps!

It really sucks - I lost my mom a few years ago and the grief even back then knowing I wouldn't go through wedding planning with her was tough. Don't be afraid to acknowledge your sadness to others! I've been frank about it feeling bittersweet, and I've had some wonderful women in my family make generous offers to help step in for a few "mom tasks" and even if I don't end up taking them up on it, it filled my heart.

I lost my dad in 2005 he was murdered so sudden ...i got married 2015 and wloped besides the fact of us not having money like that we still wanted to be married. Anywho i couldnt face the fact my dad wouldn't be there to walk me down the aisle it was so heartbreaking. I encourage you to celebrate your mom during your reception and dedicate or contribute a peice to her. My vow renewal was supposed to be may 23rd we cancelled due to CVIOD so now will try planning for a 2025 vow renewal but my point is to say i was willing to contribute 30 mins to my dad by having his face on a PowerPoint when I walk down the aisle. Losing a parent isn't and will never be easy. Good luck and happy planning to you🎊🎉🎊🎉
