  • I think that's sweet, but it's almost like you're highlighting his illness. I think it might make you sad.Maybe you could just play a favorite song of theirs and let your dad know he should ask your sister to dance? I'm sure your dad wouldn't want to take any happiness away from your day :)

  • I have to say, I would avoid it.  I know he's really ill, but I think it will upset a lot of guests and really make the day a sad one instead of a happy one.Also, are you already legally married?

  • I like the father/daughter dance idea. I am so sorry about your dad :(

  • Maybe he can walk your sister down the aisle instead of having a GM escort her? Then he could come back and walk you down? That would be kind of sweet :)

  • Vogt that is a good idea!

  • Is this something your sister wants?  She may feel awkward with you pushing this on her.

  • I want it to be a surprise for my sister.DO NOT DO THIS.  She may not want it, and it may be very emotional for her so you shouldn't just surprise her with it.  Give her a little warning and time to prepare.I lost my dad when I was little, and I have an older sister, honestly, I don't think I would have wanted this.  I am looking forward to honoring my dad's memory at MY wedding; I wouldn't want to have some kind of random substitution forced on me.  Nothing will replace him not being there on my wedding day, and I would honestly be offended if someone was like, "Well, you walked down an aisle with him at someone else's wedding so that's pretty much the same."

  • Yeah, I think the idea is nice but it would rub me the wrong way.  They will have special moments regardless of whether you attempt to arrange them.

  • Brie is right. Talk to your sister. If she loves the idea, then it's really awesome that you're willing to give her that special moment. If not, then at least you were thoughtful and considerate. But I'm sure you don't want to make her uncomfortable or surprise her with a sad moment.

  • Yeah, I have to agree that Brie makes sense.

  • Aw, thanks Lil :) Molly was not such a fan of her costume, but I thought it was too hilarious to pass up.

  • gina - people here only really hate on the people who lie to their friends and family about not getting married before hand.  There are a few people on here who have had vow renewals and no one thinks poorly of them.It's the people who do the convenient thing and still think they're entitled to their pretty princess day who are the annoying ones.
