I'm in the same boat. My half sister got married October of '07 and she got to have him there. I won't be able to have him at mine (he passed away October '08). It makes me sad when I think about it, too.

I feel worse for my brother. His wedding was supposed to be Sat. Nov. 1st of last year and my dad passed away the day before (Oct. 31st). Fortunately my brother and his wife got married in the ICU with my dad there (even though he was hopped up on morphine) because for a few months before hand he kept telling my mom he really wanted to see my brother get married but he didn't think he'd make it that long. It was really sad the next day at the actual wedding with everyone there. I cried most of the night. Nobody really knew anything besides some neighbors and family...until my younger brother mentioned my dad being proud of my brother in his toast (that's when I lost it for a while).

Just be happy you had your dad for as long as you did. On my wedding day I'm going to be wearing a little turtle pin my dad gave me a few years ago for Christmas. In the little card that went along with it it said that it was the last remaining thing of his mother's that he had and that he wanted me to have it. My sister pinned it to the ribbon on her bouquet and I'm going to have it somewhere, on me or the flowers, when I get married. It's something that meant a lot to him.
