10 years old?!? wow. what an amazing guy you are marrying! I was 23 and overwhelmed taking care of him, I can't even imagine.

 

The lapel pin is so beautiful, and the watch idea is just precious. He is lucky to have such a thoughtful fiancee!

My fiance's dad passed away from terminal cancer.  To make a long story short, Fi was left here in the US to care for him while his mother and sister moved back to Taiwan.  He was only 10 years old.

Hello ladies I am crying as I am typing this because I lost my dad suddenly in 2008 and I was a daddy's girl and it has been so hard to accept the fact that he is not here. Everyone knows how much my dad meant to me. I posted my engagement story on here and if you read it the morning my FI was going to propose he took the video camera and went to the cemetery he placed the video camera on top of my dad's stone, got down and asked my dad for permission to marry me!! It was awesome. I felt so good to know that my dad was still involved in some way:) But as for the wedding itself I am having a hard time deciding how to honor him. My dad not being here is a very sensitive topic for me and my siblings I don't want everyone crying and making my wedding a sad day...My mom will walk me down the aisle and I am going to have a picture frame charm of him on my bouquet so that he will be walking me down the aisle too....but other then that I really don't think I nor my family will be able to handle much else....

I'm sorry for the loss but I'm sure that your Dad is happy for you. I really like the engagement story. Your FI is very respectful person, it's really awesome. I'm hoping you the best on your wedding day despite the absence of your dad. Just think of it, he's watching over you. Good luck on your wedding day!

OMG I love this idea!!! I too lost my dad 2 years ago and have really been struggling with him not being there.  I was trying to come up with something to do but everything I can think of just makes me cry and I know it will make it sooo hard for me on the wedding day to have something so visual.  I wish I found this earlier cause we leave next weekend :(  Wish you all the best of luck and you know he will be right there with you in spirit

I have racked my brain for ways to honor him in our ceremony. One of the things I am doing is something like this...

 

Found this on etsy and I think it is perfect for inside his lapel.  I am also having his dad's watch fixed (doesn't work) so he can wear it that day...

I totally teared up when I saw the lapel!  What a great idea! 

My FI's mother passed away several years ago and they were very close. We haven't talked much about how to incoporate her memory into our wedding since it's hard for him to talk about it, however I've been thinking since we got engaged "how can I involve his mom?"  I'm thinking maybe getting him a lapel as a wedding gift the morning of and he can wear it next to his boutinerre.  I know it will mean more to him than anything else in the world.

I also love the idea about reserving a seat.  Thanks for all the great ideas girls!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
