Good Evening - I have a long and complicated issue.
We are to get married in Four months, just found out I'm pregnant and we want to get married asap. Hard part is that we want our families involved, and we live in AZ while they live in OH.
Mike and I picked July 27th and we are going to fly home to OH. While I was running stuff by his mom, she mentioned that it was the day her brother died 2 years ago. She says it is okay, and he would want us to party on...but I can't stop thinking about how awkward it would be for their family. We can't have it before July 17th because Mike doesn't have vacation till then. That weekend, is when my grandma died 2 years ago. And my sister is getting married 8-8-08 because there is nothing going on in August. After that I'll be in my 3rd trimester, so no flying.
Here is what you can do: In your program, have a brief acknowledgement of your mother's brother, OR have your officiant mention him at the appropriate place in the ceremony reserved for those who have passed, along with any other family members you may want to mention, such as your grandparents.
I am sure his family would be very touched. They will certainly appreciate your consideration.
Blessings upon you and the wee one growing within you!
wedding date....
