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...

Re: my dad was at my wedding...WIERD STORY!
ooohh I've got chills - I'm sure that your dad was there on your wedding day... the spirit stays with you always....My dad also died when I was 10 years old and we will also be doing a donation in his name to incorporate part of him on our wedding day.
I went to a psychic - three years ago - as soon as I walked into the room and before I could sit down he tells me that I have a lot of dead people that follow me - my dad is one of them - I wasn't even there for more than 2 mins to give him any inclination that my dad died...I started crying...that 1/2 hour was the most intense thing I ever did - he said things that shocked me - he hit things down to the craziest detail - things that no one would know - I have it all on tape - I'm crying throughout the whole thing - I still get goosebumps when I think about the things he said....

I just read your story and it's beautiful. I started crying. I totally believe in the spirits due to odd things that have happened to me. Even if it was not true, it's nice to feel that your father was with you.

Hey girl...never stop believing in miracles! Sometimes we don't get what we want when we want it, but when God feels it's appropriate...we get it.

Re: my dad was at my wedding...WIERD STORY!
Here is something... before my mom died last October, I asked if she would come back as a ghost.. to show me she was okay. She said no - she would not want to frighten me. She said that if she could come back it would be as something beautiful. She would come back as a butterfly. Ever since then, I have noticed butterflies at the oddest moments. On my birthday I was very sad that she would not be with me.. and suddenly the song Butterflies Are Free came on. It made me smile. When I bought my house, a butterfly flew right inside and literally came in through the sliders off the deck, through to the living room and wandered upstairs! My sons chased it until it flew out the window.
I hope that my mom and my dad and my sister are all at my wedding. I think you are truly blessed! :)
