Help me incorporate my crutches!?!

FutureMrsPrada, on February 12, 2014 at 2:55 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 13

Ok so when i met my FH i was on crutches, which gave him any easy excuse to approach me! Hehee! So i was on crutches for the first 6 months of our relationship, earning me the nickname crutches girl from him and our friends. We had our first kiss, first dance, created all of our best memories while i was on those crutches. Now this was about 1 year and 1/2 ago and the.crutches are sentimental to us since if i wouldnt have been on them my Fh wouldn't have had.an excuse to approach me! Soooo my question iss how can i incorporate them in the wedding? I was thinking of coming in dancing with them when we come into our reception? Whatbdo.you guys think? Any ideas?

    Maybe use them as your guest book and have guests sign them?

    That's so cute! You could do that for the reception, or maybe depending on what your cake topper is, you could have the bride on crutches? I'm so bad with coming up with creative ideas like that...that's why I come to these forums Smiley smile good luck!

    I would suggest writing them into your vows. Just because the actual item is sentimental doesn't mean they physically have to be there.

    Something like "i vow to be your crutch" or something like that. People will get it and it won't look cheesy.

    You could get a few sets of crutches and have your BP hold them up as an arch for you two to walk under when you enter? If you want to instagram your wedding it could be "CrutchWedding15"

    This is so cute! Congrats! I agree to the comment about adding them to your vows. But if you want to add a little meaningful humor, I really like the idea of you going into the reception dancing with them. Best wishes to you and your FH!

    I'm trying to picture a way to decorate your chair for the reception with them somehow ..

    i definitely get it - i have spent some time on crutches myself (six months would drive me batty though!). Here's some stuff I found!

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE! SO CUTE! Just pretend the bat is a crutch!:

    maybe for a big flower arrangement at the entrance or something:

    I would write little "crutch" puns into the vows, personally, but I like puns. Smiley smile Like, since you were on crutches, have him talk about being your "crutch" in difficult times, "supporting" you when you need someone, "helping you along" as you walk through life together, etc.

    Stand them up like a garden trellis and adorn them with floral stuff and lights...maybe by your table or something? LOL

    I like the entrance idea with the crutches, encorporating it into your vows is a good idea too.

    Love this. I like a lot of the ideas the others have posted.

    Just don't walk in using them. Guests might not know what's going on and freak out that you were hurt or something.
