the bride's bouquet with a little picture of my papa hanging from it....the maid of honor and my own bouquet had one as well
i was feeling such anxiety about the wedding... i think we all were... it was going to be too obvious that my papa was missing.. especially because he loved the couple so much and was a strong supporter of their love....i also didn't want my missing him to overtake my joy for them...
he was missed.. very missed... but i am glad to report we did well.. as a group... his absence was noticed but i thank the bride and the maid of honor for making him a part of it all... while i worried that having his picture on our bouquets as well as the "in memory" flowers set next to the guest book.. would make me miss him more.. instead it felt good to know he was there with us... within us... this made it easy to enjoy the much anticipated moment...
the daddy daughter dance was hard knowing i would never dance with my own father.. ever again... but watching Katy look so beautiful and happy made all that disappear... sure there were tears... but more than that.. there was happiness... and dancing.. lots of dancing... i think we did him proud... he would be proud to know we were able to support Katy in the way that she needed instead of being stuck in our grief....
now... time to tackle Christmas... yikes...
