My wife (no pics) and I use our wedding guest list as a base for our Christmas card list. Married eight years and it is a little heart breaking to see the number of people that have died over the that time. Both our fathers, some relatives and friends. This list is depressing the shite out of me

Anyone else in the same boat?

My wife and I have been married for 18 years and by my count four of our wedding guests have died and one has ALS and unfortunately will be gone soon.

How old were you when you got married? 60?

Only one has passed that I know of and that was due to bad health, nothing to do with old age

My wife's maternal grandmother and my maternal grandmother both passed since we got married, that's it I believe.

So 2.

Both the Matron of honor and the best man in our wedding are dead, along with one of our daughters, my mom, her mom, her brother, my sister, my grandmother. It was just a family wedding. 30 years Nov. 9. And the preacher.

Been married twice so this might take a while. All six parents and I believe three guests and the minister who gave the vows both times. 1985-2001 time frame.

Almost 7 years ago.

Had about 100 people there.

I don't think anyone has died.

My maid of honor, my mother, my father in law, my uncle, his aunt, all of the grandparents that were there. Chris Andrews (former pastor @ First Methodist BR) married us; as far as I know, he’s still alive.

The officiator is the only one of the folks who participated.

Three out of the four parents have passed (only the bride’s father is still alive )(no pics of him, Aggies).

A slew of the guests are now dead, it was an older crowd and it’s been 37 wonderful years.

We got married in 2012. I can count 9 off the top of my head. 5 were grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, and one of my wife's college roommates.

HTF should I know? 500 guests, 75% of which I never knew, and it was nearly 30 years ago.
