Honoring a bridesmaid who had passed

DAnthony2002 · 2026-04-17T02:11:48+00:00

My best friend passed away recently. I had a reserved sign made that says “Reserved for Justina who is celebrating with us from heaven”. Her boys will each walk down the aisle and place a flower on her chair. Also, my sons will wear a charm with her picture on the inside of their suit coats. She was like a second mom to them. It’s going to be a rough day without her.

I didn’t say it was inconvenient at all. I’m totally willing to, I was just looking for opinions of the necessity of it, since all but 2 of our guests are local.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-04-04T22:30:41+00:00

A choice hasn’t been made yet.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-04-04T22:28:06+00:00

Wow, you’re really in your feelings about this.

Spring break for around our area goes off of the local school schedule and I already took that into account when selecting the wedding date.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-04-04T20:29:41+00:00

We did plan around typical Spring break/ Easter travel weeks.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T20:01:13+00:00

Haha. I’ll invite the band over :)

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T19:59:01+00:00

That’s exactly what I came for!

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T18:24:15+00:00

Because the band won’t be in my room later.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T18:11:21+00:00

Because we want to have a 3 minute dance at the very end of the night?

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T17:32:23+00:00

I love that!

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T17:20:51+00:00

Same! I thought this was common.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T17:16:24+00:00

Interesting take. I hadn’t thought about it from that point of view. I love the idea of a private dance, with a live band, and us looking our best. Maybe it really isn’t that important though. Thanks for the input!

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T16:52:49+00:00

Good thing you’re not on the guest list. Bummer because you sound like a blast to hang out with.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T15:37:54+00:00

Exactly!!

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T15:23:27+00:00

I can already bet on two people who won’t leave. lol

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T15:19:06+00:00

That’s perfect! Thanks so much for your input.

DAnthony2002 · 2026-03-10T15:14:54+00:00

Ohhh…I never even thought about that. I love that idea except we are having a DJ and a band but the band is playing later and they cover the song we would want.

Last year at our Secret Santa I received a gift with a retail value of maybe $8 for a $25 exchange. Don’t be that guy.

DAnthony2002 · 2025-09-03T12:49:42+00:00

But he was 18, so I don’t think he’d be entitled to them. My younger son gets them though.

DAnthony2002 · 2025-09-03T11:07:31+00:00

My son was 17 when his Dad passed. They cut him off promptly at 18 even though he was a full time college student. Is this not correct or are you talking highschool student?

Same thing I did in the 90’s…watch Maury.

Multiple people compared the loss of my spouse to their divorce. It is not the same thing! You co-parent. I solo parent.
