???

My grandmother gave me her family set of earings, bracelet, and necklace to wear on my wedding day. It would look so god with my dress it even has leafs on it witch works well with my fall wedding. She passed way last week and she wanted to have that set that she gave me on for her funeral and she did now I have it back and I think it will be weird if I wear it? What should I do? My wedding is in 8 days.

    That is a different situation. If you feel weird wearing the set (I can understand if you do, but I could also see it being a way to honor her) maybe you can wrap the necklace around the handle of your bouquet, or weave it into your flowers. That way you can still have it with you, you just won't have to wear it.

    I think I would wear it if I were in your situation, but I can understand how it might weird you out.  I like Melissa's idea of putting it on the bouquet somehow if you don't feel comfortable wearing it.

    If you would feel really weird in it or think it would make you too emotional, I agree that you should try to honor her and put it in your bouquet somehow. Or, could you take one of the earings and pin it to your slip under your dress. Some way to wear it. Or maybe not wearing the whole set, but just one piece of it would make it feel less strange. I get where you are coming from. It is probably all because the loss of her is still so recent. If it were a year from now (try to imagine it) you probably wouldn't think twice about her just wearing it. I have my great aunt's ring, similar situation, but she has been passed longer. I don't feel weird about it, but more as a way to have her there.
