Certainly tying in the purple in some way would be a nice remembrance for Susan. It can be small if its not your colors. Small flowers in the bouquet, small flowers on the cake, a small table with photos of Susan and the boys…..

So I just reread the eulogies for the boys: here are some ideas. Small trucks painted orange with Braden’s name on them with apple seed packets in the back and a small baggie of dirt on each table OR a really big dump truck painted orange with an apple tree growing out of it as a memorial with a big dinosaur for Charlie. OR what about an orange lego dinosaur that would tie everything together.

Think a little outside the box and don’t be afraid to be a little different. It will make the reception fun, memorable and be a wonderful tribute to these sweet boys.

I almost busted out crying because of Braden falling down and when it’s mentioned jumping up and saying he’s alright. My youngest nephew who was born Feb. 5th 2008 falls down and when asked if he is okay jumps up, throws his hands in the air and announces, I’m okay! So funny, we don’t know where he got it either. Charlie and Braden remind me so much of Joe and Josh in so many ways. I like hugging them tight hoping they know how much they are loved.

Congrats on the wedding. I hope these ideas will get your brain stirring a little.
