So I have a cousin that's getting married this weekend. His father's (not my blood uncle) brother died yesterday. I don't think I've ever met the deceased. What I was told was that he drove here (Long Island) from out of state. He was driving on the highway and passed out behind the wheel. The car was safely brought to a stop, I'm assuming it was his wife that was in the car. But he wasn't able to be resuscitated. I was told that the wedding is still on, which seems kind of odd to me. If my uncle, my father's brother, just died I couldn't imagine having a wedding. I couldn't imagine any one on that side of the family having a good time.
Today is a cold and rainy day. It's gotta be a miserable day for my uncle and his family. I feel really bad for them. And not to joke, but what do you say at the wedding? "I'm sorry for your loss, but congratulations." Why would you want your wedding to forever be associated with a death in the family? Seems like it'll be awkward. I can't believe they didn't want to postpone. But my uncle (brother of the deceased) is a very kind, thoughtful and selfless guy. I could see him insisting to my cousin not to postpone. Still...
