I am getting married in one week, and my dad died yesterday.?

It's going to affect you. Only a robot could not let it bother her.

My gram died shortly before my wedding and I just kept reminding myself that she was so happy for me.

When you start to feel overwhelmed, think of something he did that made you laugh. For me, it was that my gram hated dancing. So she kept teasing me that she'd step on my feet during the bridal dance. So whenever someone stepped on my feet, I laughed and thought of her.

Don't deny yourself the emotions you're feeling, but don't let them rule you. You're going to be sad. You're going to cry. But try remember the wonderful things he did and said.

You could make the rehearsal dinner a celebration of him, too. That way you can get a lot of the emotion out before the big day. Have people bring pictures. Serve his favorites foods, tell stories. Remember that your whole family is affected by this. Don't try to get by on your own, and be there for those who may be too proud to ask for help.

Be strong. And enjoy your day!

Awhhh hunny!

I bet your dad loved you so much and was happy for you that you found the love of your life and are getting married to him. Just when the day comes think about how happy your dad would be for you and that he's there in spirit with you to walk you down the aisle.

good luck =]

i am so sorry to hear that your father has passed away but you should not feel guilty you have a right to have joy in life especially have joy in the Lord if you dont have that joy take the time and invite Jesus Christ into your life you wont regret it and by the way congrats on the marriage

your dad would want you to be happy.

he may not be there where everyone can see him at the wedding,

but he'll still be walking with you down the isle, and watching over you.

just have a big picture of him printed, and sit it on a frame near the stage [or whatever your getting married on] and remember he'll always be with you.

Your dad would want your wedding to go on, and he'd want you to be happy. I know it's hard and im sorry for your loss, but your dad will be with you in spirit and he'd love it for you to have a fabulous wedding, even if he isn't there.

your dad would want you to be happy on your wedding day. theres no way you should feel guilty for that. it's your day, and although you miss him, he'll be there in spirit.

thats a tough one. It will be hard, maybe make a little speech about him if you guys were close, celebrate him dont mourn him. He would want you to be happy :)

remember, he (for sure) wanted you to be happy, so do it, and don't feel guilty
