Jay, my FH was raised by his grandpa. He hasn't seen him in about 4 years. Grandpa hasn't been in the best of health but is doing well for a man of his age.... he just turned 98 on Thursday!! I know that Jay loves his grandpa to death, so I just ordered airline tickets (behind Jay's back of course) for him to come up for the wedding. I ended up paying for his uncle's ticket due to the fact that grandpa can't get around like he used to. ( A small price to pay to see the look on FH's face )

I even called the tuxedo rental and they told me that if grandpa comes in and gets fitted on Thursday (the day that he's flying in) they will have a tuxedo ready for him on Saturday morning before the wedding

That is a great gift, he is going to be so excited.
You better have a video camera running some where. Do you plan on not telling him, and just having his grandpa show up the day of the wedding.

I'm actually going to have grandpa show up at the RD on Thursday . When we're presenting gifts, I'll bring him in. Bringing him in on the wedding day may be to emotional for us all

Thats great! You can even ask for a wheelchair at the outside baggage check. He will be able to go to the beginning of almost every line including being searched which can sometimes be very long. That always helped my grandma out. Where is he flying from?

Also on some airlines you can check in online 24 hours before their flight. You just need to know their info. Then he wont need to wait on that line either.

He lives in Mississippi so he's flying in from Memphis, TN. I already booked a wheelchair from the car all the way to his seat

Oh My God... I just got chills! That's WONDERFUL! Your FH AND his Grandfather are going to be SOOOO happy! That IS the ultimate gift! How thoughtful!

98... GOD BLESS HIM! And what a nice tuxedo place to come through for you! Who did you use for the tuxes? You have to give them a shout out for coming through in the clutch!

I used Feldman Esquire on Sunrise Highway in Lynbrook. Mike is AWESOME!
