Hi Diane Congratulations on your engagement and good luck with all your planning. Shannon

I agree. Try to sell it if possible or return it. I don't think I would feel comfortable asking my friend for the money either.

Hi Congratulations on your engagement and good luck with all your planning. Shannon

Sorry, I hit the enter button by accident. Here is the rest of my post.... It is truly the hardest thing in the world to get through. The only thing that keeps me going is that she would want me to have the wedding I want. I am trying to incorporate everyway I can. I am wearing her wedding dress, my niece is wearing a necklace with her (she was cremated),putting her picture on my bouquet and walking down the aisle to my parents wedding song. I have come to realize after all the denial and all the anger that I have felt in the past 2 months that I can't have her back here, and that absolutely devastates me to no end. I have to do everything I can to have her at the wedding. She wouldnt want me to be miserable. I have so many rough moments, and you will too. Two months later and I still ask why and how could this happen? Why I dont have my mother? You do go on, whether at that moment you want to or not. You will make it through. It doesnt seem possible right now, but you do. When something like this happens it just reminds us to love those people we love and tell them that. Life is just too short...

I am so sorry for what you are going through. My mom just passed away August 30. It was truly the worst thing in the world. Nothing can make it feel better. Everyone at the funeral told me that it will get better. We had our engagement party planned for Nov 1 and they all said to have it. Your mom would want you to. I cancelled it. Honestly, I would not even have the wedding if I didn't have to, but I know she would be so upset if I cancelled it. I know what the feeling is like. Everyone still asking you details about the wedding while you are just there saying,"do you have any idea what I am going through and you are asking about the wedding?" I got engaged one month exactly before my mom died and no one in my family had seen me or the ring since. Everyone coming up to me at the funeral asking to see the ring and when is the wedding. You cant think of anything but my mom (your grandma).

I had considered doing a welcome dinner, but I think your idea of the welcome cocktails is great. Might consider that myself. Thanks for the idea.
