    Hi Bees

    I found out that my schedule wedding date actually falls on the same day of my aunt's wedding anniversary with her recently decesased husband.  My uncle was a great guy and passed away suddenly last summer.  My aunt has already attended a wedding of a cousin and survived the first wedding anniversary without him.  However, I realize that this will be a difficult day for her.

    Is there anything I can do to make the day easier for her? She is a strong reserved woman and will not make a scene.  However, I want to be sensitive to her, but don't want to upset her by calling attention to my uncle's passing either. Any ideas or anyone who has had a similar situation?

    Talk to her about it and let he know that you realize it may be a hard day for her. 

    I think if she is comfortable with it, you could do something that honors him/their marriage - A candle or a photo or something to recognize another great, long lasting marriage that took place on the same day. Something about you hope the day brings as much happieness to you as it did to them.  Obviously, if she would rather you not call attention to it, I don't think you should, but she may appreciate the thought.
