Between wedding preparations, a couple’s plans have taken an unexpected turn, igniting a sensitive and deeply personal conflict. The groom-to-be finds himself at odds with his fiancée over her desire to include photos of her late husband in their upcoming wedding. While she sees it as a way to honor her past, he struggles to accept the presence of another man’s memory on their special day. The man shared his story. My fiancée and I have been together for about 3 years. We got engaged 6 months ago. We were doing some planning, and she mentioned, “Where do you think ’late husband’s name’ pic could go?” I was confused and asked her to clarify.She said she wanted her late husband’s picture at the wedding, she went into more detail,

at my request. She wants one of the bridesmaids to hold his picture during the ceremony. As well as having his pic on our table. And when taking pictures, she wants to hold him in most photos.I told her that I didn’t want that, and while I understand he’s important to her, I’d feel uncomfortable with his pictures at our wedding, especially when they’re so prominent. We got into a fight, and she yelled, “I can’t believe you’re jealous! He’s dead!” I decided to postpone the wedding, and honestly, I’m thinking of calling it off all together. People stood on his side. “Ok…I’m a widow of 12 years and this just isn’t right. I understand she may want a memory of him with her but…pictures of him in pictures of you two are just wrong on many levels!!
