Hello everyone, I have just had a chance to read through your replies and I am *overwhelmed* by your kindness. I wanted to let you know that you have all helped me so much, whether you posted, prayed, or simply sent a kind thought our way. MrsPotterhead, your talmudic story gave me great comfort at a time of tremendously conflicting emotion. I will always be grateful for that.
Most important, I wanted to let you know about my Thanksgiving miracle, or MIRACLES i should say because we've received quite a few in the last two days. We've been able to change our date to 11/24 - one day later than scheduled, which allows us to finish my Dad's wake today and funeral tomorrow. Then proceed with our wedding without having the funeral the next day which would have been too awful for words. Now the part that simply amazes me... EVERY SINGLE VENDOR i'm working with is accomodating the change, my reception hall, Castle on the Hudson, Florist John McGee, Hairstylist, Makeup artist (and guest! Patricia), Band (Good Clean Fun), Bagpiper Andy, our Church and Priest, our videographer Halo (Jack), our photographer (Thomas Paul will shoot our reception; an alternate will do the mass and family shots), our limos and our minibus company. And ALL of our guests will be there on Saturday night. What more can I say, I think my Dad took care of everything.
Ladies, I'm not overly religious but believe me as I type this through tears to let you all know that LOVE is stronger than death, and grief does not kill joy. I have 100 people who have personally committed to make Saturday the BEST wedding ever, so I am committed to do the same. My Dad LOVED a good party and a good story so we will give him that.
11/23 brides you're all in my hearts tomorrow, I shall think of you throughout the day and night.
11/24 brides, my new date twins, we'll be together in spirit and have wonderful weddings.
11/25 brides, nothing but heartfelt good wishes to you as well.
As Bing Crosby sang... 'I've got plenty to be thankful for...'

Hello everyone, I am still in shock but really need some prayers today, my Dad passed away last night and our wedding was to be Friday.

I thik we are moving it to Saturday but it will be a miracle to get everything reset, but we think its the best thing to do.
Please pray that we can get through the next few days; thanks to all of you in advance, I'll be back online late tonight or tomorrow :(
