OK... so Im a bit freaked out by this...but thought i would share anyway....
my dad died when I was 10... right when he passed away I used to pray at night that he would visit me in my dreams so i could see him again... i never dreamed about him... ever... so i stopped believing in God... growing up i never really felt his presence around me or anything...
anyway, years later... right when I got engaged we got this wierd random letter in the mail that there was some life insurance policy that no one knew about on my father from before he was even married to my mom and it says that the money should go to his children!! We thought it was a scam, but it turns out that my brother and I each got a small sum of money... the timing was so wierd and it was almost like my dad was contributing to the wedding/down payment on our house...
So anyway, my wedding day comes, and we did a donation favor in memory of my dad and i had memorial candles... I had my pseudo step father walk me down the aisle with my mom and I danced with my uncles... i tried not to think about my dad because i didnt want to get upset about him not being there...
So I just got off the phone with my mom... who had this WIERD story to tell me... she was talking to a friends mom, who sometimes has 'visions.' I have ALWAYS wanted to go to someone like this to see if my dad is really around me, but i have always been too chicken...
So this woman tells my mom that she sees a wedding... and that there was a spirit there who wants her to know that he was there... that she sees the letter 'R' (my dad's name starts with an R) So my mom is like yeah right... well the woman goes on to ask if anything broke at the wedding... like glasses... my mom says no... nothing broke... her friends start yelling at her telling her that someone knocked over a whole tray of chamapagne glasses... (which i know happened because DH's friends did it) and the woman says that the spirit was there when this happened... so my mom is still feeling really skeptical... well then the woman tells her that he wants to tell her something that no one else would know... and she repeats something that happened to them when she was 16 or so when they first started dating... this was something that no one else would ever know... my mom started hysterically crying!
Im kinda freaked about this, but it means that my dad was really at my wedding!!! I have always kind of believe in the spirit stuff... but never sure because i thought if it was true that maybe by dad would have some how made me felt his presence before...
I dont know... wierd random story I guess... just wanted to share...

I just got goosebumps!!!! He was definitely with you on your wedding day; he will always be watching over you.
That's awesome!!! I just got goose bumps this morning reading this post! That's great for you and your DH because you went through the day (and the months following) not thinking about it, but what a nice memory this is for you!

That is a beautiful story. I do believe that things like this happen. I lost my Mom 4 1/2 years ago and I truly believe she will be there the day I get married.

I totally believe in this stuff and that spirit of the people we love never really leave us, or if they do they return to us when we need them. I believe your Dad was with you at your wedding....just when you needed him.

Re: my dad was at my wedding...WIERD STORY!
What a beautiful story. I'm all choked up and goosebumpy over here. He was definitely with you on your big day.
FH and I truly believe that our grandfathers brought us together, even though both passed away before we met. There are just too many of these similar type situations for us to believe otherwise!
Thanks for sharing...it really touched me.

Re: my dad was at my wedding...WIERD STORY!
THAT IS AWESOME, AND I AM SO GL,AD IT HAPPENED TO YOU. I BELIEVE HE WAS AT YOUR WEDDING AND SAW EVREYTHING. I BET HE WAS SO PROUD TO SEE YOU ALL BEAUTIFUL.
I BELIEVE BOTH MY GRANDFATHERS WERE THERE BC OF CERTAIN THINGS THAT OCCURED, SO BELIEVE AND BELIEVE AND BELIEVE
LIFE IS MYSTERIOUS, AND YOUR DAY WAS THERE FOR YOU ON YOUR WEDDING DAY WATCHING OVER YOU BEING SO HAPPY. I AM SURE HE IS ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU. DONT ALWAYS THINK HE WILL COME INYOUR DREAMS I THINK OF ONE GRANDFATHER WHEM SEE A DIME AND THE OTHER WHEN I SEE A CERTAIN FLOWER OR SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAPPENS.
YOUR DAD IS ALWAYS AROUND YOU HIS SPIRIT IS STILL ALIVE I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

Whoa! I got chills when I read this. I totally believe he was there. What father would miss his little girl's wedding even if just in spirit?

My dad passed away too and every time I think about him not being there it makes me cry. But you made me see it in a different way, maybe he will be there after all.
