Well, all of you know that my father passed away very suddenly on the 25th. I cannot imagine my wedding right now but I know that he would want me to be happy so I must continue planning.
Well, I got numerous cards and had many conversations with my dad's friends. Apparently my dad gushed about my wedding non stop. About 10 of his rough, tough, upstate hunter/fisherman, carpenter friends told me in person or in cards that he even told them about my dress. I would have paid to hear those chats! I guess my dad told them the whole story from me buying a dress, returning it and now debating between two dresses. I remember showing my dad the Jasmine gown and his eyes welled up. He told so many people how much he liked that dress.
So, decision made. I am buying the Jasmine gown. AND I got a call yesterday that the store upstate by my mom's house finally got in the dress sample. SO, on Saturday my mom, my aunt and my little cousin (Jr. MOH) are all going to the store so I can try on the dress again. I'll order it up there or from Burton's or Bridal Elegance but either way...my dress is a reason to smile. It's exactly what my dad wanted me to wear!

I hope this doesn't upset you, but I found this beautiful poem, and I thought it was really touching. You dad will most certainly be with you on your wedding day...and you will have a beautiful beautiful wedding. Sending you tons of support to you and your family.
Never Alone
I feel you in the morning When at first I awake Your thought is with me With each decision I make
You'd been around forever Since the first breath I took Now I have to go on alone But for love, I need not look
Cause by what you bestowed In our short time together Will last in my heart Forever and ever
Although you've left And now walk above I'm never alone I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long waited reward Feel peace that your love continues on What was taught to me, will be taught to mine Cause you live on in me even after you've gone
bonnie that is beautiful.

Thank you for this. I had planned to donate to the American Diabetes Association in celebration of my father and my FH's father in lieu of favors. It will now be in memory of my father. I might use this on the table tents stating that a donation was made. Thank you! It's beautiful!
