FH's dad's best friend passed away yesterday after a short terrible battle with cancer ( RIP )
This man was basically an uncle to FH and last month when we saw him he promised us he would be at the wedding NO MATTER WHAT. A few weeks ago he even told FILs that he would be there. After he passed, his widow even mentioned how hard he was trying to stick around for it.
So, FH goes up to her at the wake and hugs her and just as he is about to lose it he says 'You two promised to come to my wedding and I want you there - you still have to come'
O M G I almost died right there, I was actually looking for a hole to open up in the floor so I could sink into it! I was mortified - HOW INAPPROPRIATE IS THAT AT A WAKE!!!!!!!!
It truly ended up being a sweet moment - she hugged FH and promised she would be there bc he would have wanted her to go and she asked if she could bring a date ( they have a great sense of humor )
FH saw nothing wrong with what he did - I didn't say anything to him bc he is grieving and it isn't the time to nit pick - but what an awkward moment!
The world lost an amazing man with an incredible sense of humor. Just a few months ago he was teasing me that he was trying to be skinnier than the bride and that was why he was losing so much weight - so he could show me up at the wedding in a skin tight gown
We are going to hold on to the invitation until December and then we are going to hand deliver it to his widow - we dont want her getting it in the mail just yet. . . FH even wants to keep the envelope with his name on it but I don't know about that yet
Thanks for listening girls

Re: boys can be so innocent
I just got all teary eyed!! Men really are so innocent..it just shows how much more emphasis us girls put on being formal and having the right etiquette..etc...I'm sure she didn't even take it the wrong way..
I'm so sorry for your loss!!
What an amazing man to still be cracking jokes in his condition.
Like my family always says..'He always takes the good ones young'...We gained another Angel!!
