My sister died in a car accident 5 years ago. I've been with my fiance for about 9 years so he was close with my sister as well. Now that we're finally planning a wedding I feel so torn and confused as to what to do for my sister. The memorial table everyone does isn't enough. She deserves more. She would have been a bridesmaid for me. I said that for years when she was still here. I've thought about putting up a chair with her picture and a bouquet beside the other bridesmaids while we're all at the alter. My aunt said that's too morbid and I should focus on it being a happy day.
But I won't be 100% happy because she's not here. And I want her involved as if she were. I talk about her every day. I try so hard to keep her relative in our daily lives so part of her lives on. I don't think it's morbid and it's my wedding so I kinda just wanna do it despite what a few people have said. But is it really that weird of an idea??? I know no matter what she will be in my heart... But I want everyone else to know she's there too. She deserves to be here with us.
