    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Might have to push back the wedding date...AGAIN ): : I was a 7/7/07 bride...we looked at venues we liked, made a list of which ones had what dates available, narrowed it down to the 2 we liked the best...and ended up going with the one that had 7/7 available because the 6/30/07 venue was too big for our guestlist...see how that worked?? Are you going to cut people from your guestlist last minute because you don't like the number that RSVPed yes?

    No, I won't even bother keeping count of the RSVPs. I know who I'm inviting, I know that they will all try to come since it's mostly all family, and if they don't come then oh well.

    Our wedding date was also Eric Estrada's b-day. Man, we should have had a CHiPs theme. I totally missed out. Bloop bloop.

    [QUOTE]Picture and flag? My father is a veteran and deceased, and I'm sure he would side eye me from above for carrying his pic and flag from his coffin on my wedding day. But do you, girl. Glad you didn't leave.

    I don't see the it way I suppose, I see the flag as something that represents what he did for our country.

    Not to get all mushy, but it's the only way I can explain.
    My father had had health problems since I was young so there were times he'd break down and tell me he's sorry that he couldn't be the father he wanted to. He'd always tell me that he just wanted to live to walk me down the aisle at my wedding. I refuse to let anyone else walk me down the aisle, I refuse to take that right away from him. Carrying the flag is still in debate but I'm for sure carrying his photo. Not just because he's a veteran but because he's my father.

    Might I suggest that if he has any medals you attach one of those to your bouquet?

    AM, I understand all of that, really I do, but what size picture are we talking? Please tell me not an 8X10.

    Just to throw out an idea. What about a nice flag pin and a small locket with his picture on your bouquet? What do you think about that?

    Is it more about other people seeing that you are remembering him or about YOU remembering him? Maybe play his favorite song during your ceremony? There are many ways to remember a love one on your wedding day.

    A bigger photo, so when I get to where the alter would be, I'm setting it on an easel. It's for me and my family. His favorite songs would most deffinetly not be appropriate for the ceremony.... or the reception xD (one of his favorites was the one where each lyric ends with 'but then i got high')

    Did no one watch 30 Rock last night? I died at that line.

    AMPMEABOD, I'm sorry for your loss. But there are classy ways to remember people, and then there's having your wedding on Veterans' Day and walking down the aisle with a picture and a flag.

    So all people are going to see is a giant photo supported by a white skirt coming down the aisle?  I know you want to honor your father and I think that is wonderful, but I don't think carrying a large picture is a good idea (particularly if it is an outside ceremony!).   Don't you think your FI will want to be able to see mostly you coming down the aisle and not your late father?

    I'm pretty sure it won't be an outdoor wedding anymore with the date change. &&They can see me while I'm standing up there, and while i'm walking back down the aisle. It's not going to be huge or anything (i'm not a very big person, just a little under 5'3") but I want to be sure it's not something people have to squint at.

    If you're determined to have a picture of that size on the altar, I think you're better off just already having it up there before people arrive, and use BC's idea of the medals. 


    But if you do carry the picture, please come back and and post lots of pictures for us.  Lots.

    My aunt said we could do a cardboard cut-out... not sure if she was being serious or not but I hope she doesn't actually get one. But if she does, I will be sure to post tons of pictures.
