Today we attended FH's grandma's funeral. She'd been sick for some time, and we were expecting this. A month ago, he asked me if he and the GM (all of them his brothers) could wear pink ties on our big day. I hemmed and hawed and said, "we'll see." Last week, he asked again, and I said HE could wear pink. (Our colors are red, orange, and yellow, and I do not want pink anything!!) On the way home from the funeral, he said how excited his brothers are to wear their new pink (fuchsia) ties to the wedding (they wore them as pall bearers). Again, I did not give an answer. I don't want our wedding day to be overpowered with grief and sorrow for the deceased. I will have special roses in my boquet for our 4 grandparents who have passed on. I've considered separate ties for pictures and the ceremony, or a pink hanky for the guys. I'm trying to not be shallow, but as you have all said, after the day, all you have are pictures. I'm spending $900 on pics, and I want them as nice as possible.
