Please hug your family and tell them that you love them.
Lee's Dad died suddenly on Sunday - 6 days before our wedding. We are still in shock and my heart breaks for Lee and his family. They have decided to still fly over to Canada tomorrow as planned, so the wedding will still take place. Lee and his sister think that their Dad wouldn't want it any other way...I think that Lee and his family are incredible.
So don't stress over programs and matching ribbons, menu cards or guest books, timelines or readings. They can all begin to feel entirely irrelevant. Hug your family and tell them that you love them.

I have been sharing your plans and being inspired by your blog for months. We are getting married on the same day. I can't imagine what you're going through right now, mixing such joy with such unimaginable sorrow. But my thoughts are with you and your families this week and through what will be a very emotional weekend. Best of luck to you both!
oh, sarah. I'm so sorry to hear this. Thank you for this reality check and kudos to you for keeping everything in perspective. Enjoy your day no matter what!
Hi Sarah,
I've been reading your blog for a long while and I'm so sorry you had such a tragedy right before it. I will keep your family in my thoughts and I hope you have a love-filled and memory-filled wedding.
So sorry to hear. I can only imagine the shock so close to the wedding, but I am sure you will both keep him close in your hearts on Saturday
I'm a quiet follower of your blog, and am so sorry to read of your loss. Your families are in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this. I checked on your blog to see how you are doing because I knew our wedding dates were close (if not the same) and am so saddened by your post today. Your message is a good one but its so sad that it comes as a result of you fiance's loss. My heart goes out to you guys and I hope that you can be strong for him through the wedding because I know that it will be bittersweet for him.
i'm so sorry, how difficult this time must be for you. prayers abound.
My thoughts and prayers are with you...
oh honey, you and your family are in my thougths and prayers. i just read this post because I just got back from my honeymoon. as you might know, i lost my Dad at the end of June...3 months before our wedding. So I know what you and your fiance are going thru. i know that he is/was with you on your wedding day.
I'm so sorry to hear about your and your fiancée's loss, I can't imagine what it must feel like for you both and I think you are incredibly strong to be continuing with your wedding plans.
I hope that you have a lovely day, although I'm sure it will be very poignant and sad too.
