I can really relate to your mixed emotions. My DH was
killed just before Christmas in '01, and several months
later my DD met the man she would marry. She and I went
through some pretty wrenching emotional times planning the
wedding, with so many regrets about her Dad not being there
to walk her down the aisle and share her joy.

We actually decided to place a chair where he would have
been seated (an outdoor wedding), and I laid a single
scarlet rose across the empty seat when I was escorted to my
seat. It meant a great deal to DD and me to acknowledge him
that special day. My other son-in-law officiated, and we
decided to have him go to meet DD half-way along the aisle
and escort her the rest of the way (he is like a brother to
her). He did not "give her away", nor did I.

I hope you have lots of love and support, you are going
through such a stressful, heartbreaking time, but there is
much joy, too. My DD is so happy in her marriage, and I
adore my new second "son".

I wish you the best,

Beverly
