Immediately after getting engaged i started looking into venues because I knew dates in May, June, July would be booked very far in advance. I found the a venue that I absolutely fell in love with and they only had one weekend in all of may and June left ( May 24th 2014) so I quickly booked it out of fear that I would lose the venue. So in my hastiness I did not even realize what I had done, I had selected the very day that my grandpa died. Now there was only one other day that was even an option and that was the 25th of May. I need some advice on this and have been unable to really find anyone that has dealt with a similar issue. I'm not sure if I should switch to the 25th, or if the difference of one day really changes anything. Obviously his death was recent so everything is fresh, emotions are still running high and people are still grieving. I've spoke to a few family members about it and I just seem to get the typical answer " do what makes you happy" "Its your special day" I feel like most people are just sugar coating it and telling me what they think I want to hear.
So should I try and move my date to the 25th instead of the 24th to avoid offending anyone? Or should I just get over it, keep my date on the 24th and do my best to celebrate my grandpas life and not his death?
