I don’t mean to be cruel here at all right.. but she’s posted that her sister had a pic of Daniel in her bouquet to walk her down the aisle. Now if she had planned to have him walk her down the aisle as she isn’t in touch with her father that’s one thing, but would it not be a bit odd to have a pic of your late brother in law in your bouquet otherwise? As horrible as this sounds, it comes across like Rachel thinks people are a lot more affected by Daniels passing than what they probably are. Don’t get me wrong, it is heartbreaking for his family and close friends, but they’ve all kept going the last few years and are probably remotely ok by now. But it’s like Rachel expects everyone’s worlds to have stopped turning without him. While his passing was horrible and sad, I don’t think it’s the monumental thing she thinks it is for everyone else. Her life has no doubt changed forever, as have those of his parents etc but even his friends, they still have to get on with their own lives and I get the impression she thinks they’re still in bed grieving every single day. I understand her sister was probably close with Daniel of course but I just find it a bit odd that she almost makes every occasion about the fact that Daniel isn’t there rather than the occasion. I understand she would be noticing it and I’m sure others would too but she makes such a big deal out of it rather than getting on with whatever it is she’s doing, like she reminds everyone else about it even if it’s an occasion for someone else.
but in the same breath she’s well able to go out and have her big events and nights out where she’s the star of the show and Daniel isn’t mentioned (which is fine) but when the attention is on someone other than her then it’s brought up that he’s missing and it’s sad for her etc?? I just don’t think I’d expect my sister to make reference to my late husband on the happiest day of her life or make part of her wedding about him. I’m sure she wouldn’t have done it if she really didn’t want to and the picture wall was a nice touch for those who had passed away, I just think the bouquet and Rachel making a point of it was a bit odd And pointing it out publicly kind of takes whatever special little touch it was away from it. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks that though, just my thoughts over the last while!
