NittanyJen Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 My niece got married today. Beautiful ceremony, beautiful bride, handsome groom, wonderful reception. My husband's brother/bride's Dad died when she was just a baby, so her brother walked her down the aisle-- that was both endearing and difficult for those of us who still miss my husband's brother and hold him close in our hearts. But we also treasure how close the sibling bond has been between those two (older brother was himself only three when their Dad died). But the true waterworks hit me tonight when instead of a "father/daughter dance" the DJ announced a "Brother/sister dance" and the two of them danced to "Lean on Me." I never, ever cry at weddings but I sure did tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yep. That will do it every time. I'm not a crier, but I probably would have been a blubbering mess. Thanks for sharing this touching story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 My grand parents raised us and my Papa died before my sister got married. For the father --daughter dance my brother said some things about him, and then asked my Granny for her permission to step in for him for the dance. It was really sweet. It's wonderful when there is family who can step into important roles like that in the case of a loss. That is lovely that your niece had that.
