Emotions were raw as we navigated joy and sorrow simultaneously. Despite the challenges, we knew he would want us to have the wedding of our dreams. And his hard work made it possible. We felt his presence in various ways throughout the day, celebrating his life and our special bond. Earlier, during preparations, my mom, a close friend, and I gathered privately to honor him and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/how-to-honor-passed-loved-ones-at-a-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sprinkle his ashes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> around the ceremony area, ensuring he could be with us during that poignant moment.

Music had always been a shared passion, and &ldquo;Landslide&rdquo; by Fleetwood Mac had been our chosen song. After he passed away, we discovered a list of songs he wanted played at the wedding. As the day approached, I tried to find a way to honor him that felt like a celebration rather than overwhelming grief. So, we decided to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/how-to-honor-passed-loved-ones-at-a-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dance to his favorite song<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, &ldquo;Sugar Magnolia&rdquo; by the Grateful Dead. To add a personal touch, we even did his signature dance move called &ldquo;The Worm.&rdquo; A hilarious and lighthearted moment that made our friends and family laugh. Halfway through the song, we invited everyone to join us on the dance floor. Celebrating my dad&rsquo;s memory with joy and laughter.

Before my flower farming days, I worked on vegetable farms. And Chris and I spent time on an organic farm, sparking my passion for canning. A bridesmaid&rsquo;s idea of &ldquo;Pickled You&rsquo;re Here&rdquo; favors excited us. Despite procrastinating, I was determined to make it happen, crafting 120 jars of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-favor-ideas-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pickled vegetables and jam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the week leading up to the wedding was quite a challenge!
