Special gift for Aunt at wedding

When we made the decision to have our wedding on Sept 17, we didn't realized that it was my favorite Aunts wedding anniversary because she got married before I was born and no one never talked about what day it was on, just how big it was, how they had tons of food and liquor and her 15 bridesmaids lol. Her and my Uncle (who died in 2000 and if he was here) would be celebrating 34 years of marriage! My aunt was happy to know about me having the same wedding date as her because I'm her favorite niece as well, and I was thinking at the reception making a announcement about her anniversary and me and FH was going to present her with a gift and some flowers. Do you think it's a good idea?

It might make her (and others in your family that miss your uncle) sad since they WOULD be celebrating another anniversary. I think it's a sweet idea, but making an announcement might bring down the mood of the reception.

Celebrate you and your FH.
Don't forget your uncle but that day is yours. & although it was their day... he's no longer here and it may upset her.
Happy thoughts my friend.

Could you do something private with her? I'm thinking baby write her a really heartfelt letter about how happy you are to share this special date with her, or a personalized gift you can give her before the wedding?

Come to think of it, you guys are right, I think we are going to do something private for her because I don't want anyone to be sad, especially her. Thank you so much for the feedback this really helped me

My first wedding was on my Grannie's 46th wedding anniversary. My Granddad had passed the year before I was born. I asked her if I could get married that day and she said yes. I gave her a hug, kiss on the cheek and a photo of her and I as a gift. I did this at the reception but it was a special mention between just the two of us. It is a memory I will never forget. She is gone now and moments like that help me when I am missing her.

You could ask what their first dance song was and play that as your last song of the night. No need for an announcement, she'd recognize the song without everyone else feeling bad for her.
