We have planned hundreds of weddings, but I will never forget this wedding that truly made me cry. And honestly, thinking about it now is getting me teary eyed. A bride had just lost her dad two weeks before the wedding. They tried to have the wedding as soon as they can so that he could be a part because he had cancer. But she had like, three brothers, she had a lot of uncles and they all were in attendance to the wedding and she didn’t think that she was going to do the father daughter dance, so she got rid of it. But I talked with her mom and her fiance and found like, what her dad’s favorite song was going to be. Talked with the DJ and the DJ played this song. We had her to come up and each one of her brothers took turns and gave her a hug and danced with her. And all of these people represented her dad for her on the day. So it was really, truly a special moment, a special time, and it just let her know and felt like he was there, even though he couldn’t be there, there were people there that would fill in the gap and fill in the shoe. Oh, I’m sorry, fill in the gap for him during that time. As a planner, we really and truly think about the wedding day forwards and backwards, inside and out, and our job is just to really make sure that everyone is comfortable and having a great day. And I think adding that moment to represent her dad truly will be something she remembers forever, but also lets her know that although he has passed away, you still have a team of guys that’s willing to be there for you.

Who wedding day emotions. Let’s see. I’m not generally a very emotional person. It takes a lot to make me get teary eyed or cry. But I would say the thing that really hits me hardest during the wedding day and can get me a little teary eyed is tributes to late parents. My mom passed away when I was ten so I had to have my wedding without her. And the heaviness of that moment and the expectations that you have growing up of having your parents be involved in that special day really hit hard. So some tributes that I’ve seen to parents who have passed that really kind of hit me and stood out to me are I love when there’s photos and little charms or lockets on the bride’s bouquet. I think that’s really sweet. We had a couple who had their mom’s dress be a part of their wedding dress. I think the most memorable really was one of our brides lost her dad pretty tragically and close to the wedding and she had one of his favorite shirts sewn into her dress, which I thought was really sweet. But I think the one that’s really hit me hardest is I had a couple who both parents had passed, and she walked down the aisle with a photo of both of her parents and sat it down on a beautiful chair, front aisle in her most or front row in her most chair on the aisle, and had a beautiful memorial table for her parents there, just to kind of symbolize and pay respects to them, if you will, that they were there with her on that day. And just the words in the ceremony talking about that tragedy and couples kind of being open and expressing their emotions about we’re not going to dance around this issue. That is the elephant in the room. So let’s address it and let’s speak about it and share good stories and know that they’re there with you. Those moments are the ones that choke me up a little bit and get me a little teary eyed on the day. Just having been a bride that had to have her wedding without her parents.

I know exactly the wedding for this question. It was a few years ago. Our team was able to create a very special moment for a groom and his mom, who had rapidly accelerating Ms. And to be honest, the couple was not sure that she would be there on the wedding day. Thankfully, she was. By the wedding day, she could no longer speak, and she was in a wheelchair. But they still wanted to have a very special moment with her. And the groom and his sister danced with their mom on the dance floor. They moved her wheelchair to the music. And even though she was not able to really express herself, you could see that she was very emotional in that moment. And there was not a dry eye in the ballroom. Everyone was crying. It didn’t help that I was eight months pregnant during this moment. But things like this remind wedding professionals why we do what we do. We can make the day so smooth for you that you can just be in the moment and make these memories with your loved ones. So this was an incredible moment to be a part of. And it there was not a dry eye. I’m telling you, it’s.

What wedding moment made me cry my eyes out. I’m going to cry just thinking about it. When brides dance with their fathers. Because I lost my dad about twelve years ago so thank goodness he was there for my wedding almost 28 years ago. But I was definitely a daddy’s girl. And so that moment of daddies and daughters and that father daughter dance is really heartwarming. Also, if I’m ever at an event and the song that my dad and I dance to is played, that always gets me. Whether it’s the father daughter dance or just background music during cocktail hour it doesn’t matter if I hear it. What a wonderful world that does it to me every time. So daddies and daughters father daughter dance gets me every time I’m.
