Hi all, I was going through my wedding box today and found the lovely pictures I have - one of mum in her wedding dress and one of mum and dad cutting their cake. They are an inspiration to me, 35 years married and still in love. Still like the little things in each other and still bicker like newlyweds :) they are helping us out so much with the wedding, not just monetary but in support so I would love to find a way to incorporate their picture into the day.. Can you help me? 1. I have a few ideas, - have their cutting cake picture framed and next to our cake? - have their two pictures framed on the top table where they will be sitting? - don't have either on display but find a way to reenact their cutting cake picture and when we do it have their picture in the shot too? - get the picture of mummy in her dress made smaller and hanging from the bouquet?
I'm confused!!
2. OH's parents have split up and are still on bad terms.. I am worried that if I do make a thing about the pictures, they will be offended or think of it as a dig against them? Think the day is about my parents and not them. What do you think?

I think it's a lovely idea, but like you say you don't want to offend his parents. I think at the very least you should re-enact the cutting the cake pic and then you can put the pics together after.
Is there anyway you can ask OH parents about it to see if they would mind?

I agree with Donna. Then you're honoring them without making his parents feel uncomfortable. X

I love this idea! My parents are divorced, though, so I couldn't do this with H2Bs parents photos, but not my own, without upsetting my parents.

reenact your parents cake cutting photo and when you get the picture copy it and put into a album yours and your parents photo side by side and your parents can have one and so can you you could ask h2b parents how they would feel about that but also state this is not you digging at them at all its your wedding day and your parents marriage inspires your own marriage and you hope to have a loving marriage like you parents do 30 odd years in the making =D

Thanks everyone, I think I'll do exactly what you have said. I'm going to get picture of my mum in her wedding dress reprinted in a key ring or locket and hang in on my bouquet. Then we will reenact the wedding cake picture and in their album after wedding will have them side by side.
Spoke to OH last night and he doesn't want to upset his parents by making a fuss of my parents marriage, which I understand. So I will make them a card and give it to them on the day thanking them for being my rocks. :) then they can be told how we feel without his oar ends even knowing!!
Thanks for your advice girls, as always xxx

I think its a nice idea but like you said would be worried you ohs parents would take offence. my Ohs parents are together but my mum never married my dad and are not together and he's not invited but she was married twice before , lols. I think the idea of having the photo of your parents cutting the cake next to the photo of you guys cutting your cake would be a good idea tho.
