Helpful Tips
A Parent has Died
Firstly, we are sorry.
Losing a parent is a horrible thing.
I have lost both of mine, and John his Mum.
We know it sucks.
It meant I walked myself down the aisle,
as I could not bear anyone else doing it.
It is hard on your wedding day.
The grief tells us though how much we loved them.
They will be in your heart all day.
Here is a suggestion for how to handle
your invitation wording to make it as easy as you can.
