A beloved person is in heaven.

A wedding to express gratitude to the important person who has supported you so far.

For many brides, there are not only guests present on the day they want to say thank you to, but also "those who have gone to heaven…".

Even if they can't see the bride in her wedding dress in person, they must surely be watching over her from heaven.

Preparing a seat for them at the family table, displaying a photo, or writing messages on balloons and sending them into the sky are all ways to express gratitude.

There are various ways to convey feelings of "thank you" to beloved family members in heaven, such as grandparents, fathers, and mothers.

There’s a touching phrase in overseas weddings.

The feeling of thinking about family and friends in heaven is the same even if the countries are different.

In overseas weddings, it is common to prepare a board with a certain message dedicated to beloved guests in heaven＊

That message is, "We know you would be here today, if heaven weren't so far away."

When translated literally, it means, "We know you would be here today if heaven weren't so far away."

What does it mean?

Since the literal translation might be a bit difficult to understand, to paraphrase…

It conveys the idea that "Although heaven is said to be far away, you are truly always watching over me. You are probably here with us today too, right?"

This message is sure to bring a smile to the family members looking down from heaven during the wedding.

Let's display it with photo frames or photo garlands＊

The message board with "We know you would be here today, if heaven weren't so far away." is typically displayed along with photos of family members who are in heaven.

It would also be lovely to adorn photo garlands. The lower half of the wooden frame is covered with black construction paper, where the message is written.
