Yesterday while perusing the web, I came across this.
It's a wedding flower bouquet with photos of loved ones
who have passed away clasped to a ribbon
Seriously, how cute is that?!
I think this is probably the most precious thing I have ever seen. When Kurt
first met my grandparents on my moms side, they immediately
fell in love with him. That was almost 5 years ago.
Each holiday, my grandmother would ask me "did he get you a diamond?"
or "where's the diamond this year!" etc etc.
As both my grandparents started to get older, they set milestones. They said they just wanted to live to see me graduate highschool. They did. Then they wanted to see my sister graduate from highschool, and they did.
They started to reach 90, and sadly, hoped they'd see us graduate from college. THEY DID.
It was sort of an ongoing joke with the family that they'd live to see Kurt and I
get married one day I know that's what my grandparents really wanted to see happen.
But unfortunately, they both passed away recently within 4 months of eachother.
My grandfather even passed away on my grandmothers birthday.
sweet little prayer cards on our fridge :-)
The reason I'm writing this, is because whenever I do end up getting married, I want to do this; whether it be little photos of them on my bouquet, or their names stitched somewhere, or something similar. Just so I know, and so they know, that they were there with me on my special day.
