I have a question for others, my fiances Grandmother will not be able to attend, and we want to recognize her as well. I was going to place flowers on the table in a vase for those who have past away, and maybe put a different colored flower to represent his Grandma, but in a separate vase. (It doesn't seem right to include her in with the deceased)

Hey ebernard4985. Why dont you put a corsage on one of the seats on the grooms side? where she would be seated if shewas able to come. I agree that putting her with the deceased is not proper. You want to celebrate the deceased in one way (spirit lives on) and people who are unable to come in a different way. If she is sick or something you could put a poem that has to do with illness or ask the other members of your party for prayers. If she is just unable to make it, I think having a reserved seat for her would be nice. With a corsage or flower and maybe a save the seat tag or something.

My mom passed away suddenly on Aug 30, 2009. I have a few ideas in mind to have her there.

I am wearing her wedding dress

I am walking down the aisle to my parents wedding song (they have been married 35 yrs)

I am having a picture of her on my bouquet

I am having a floating candle in a vase with her name engraved on it for the head of the

reception table.

She was cremated & my niece has her in a charm on a necklace & she is my jr bridesmaid, so she is going to wear the necklace so my mom is in the pictures.

 

Please let me know if you think I am going to make my wedding depressing. My fiance worries that I am going to make everyone cry, including myself. I think no matter what I do, I cant see myself getting through the wedding without her and I need to have all this there. I dont know how I am supposed to get married without my mom. Anyone that has gone through this, I am willing to take any advice! How do you make it through? It is hard enough to make it through a regular day!

We did a single stem rose on the table for each loved one lost, and one single stem rose for all of our family and friends that couldn't make it to our wedding. The officient said what they stood for after the opening, and announced all of our loved ones names. It was really sweet and everyone was in tears, but it's a good thing to do when you have lost loved ones.

    • 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!
    • 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!
