“Today’s the dayyyyyy!!!!! Today I Marry the man of my
dreams! 6 yrs ago I met the love of my life,” she wrote. “I love you
Christopher I can’t wait to marry you today!!!!”
But, Deena was also feeling bittersweet about the big day
since her father couldn’t be there.
He passed away in 2016 following a
battle with cancer. But, the 30-year-old
honored her father’s memory at her wedding in the sweetest way.
She shared a photo of a charm with her dad’s picture on it,
as well as a patch of his shirt sewn into her wedding dress on her Instagram.
“Even though you won’t be with me tomorrow physically
.. I’ll have a piece of you with me and close to my heart while I’m walking
down the isle,” she wrote. “I love you and miss you daddy.”
“I cut a piece of his shirt and sewed it to my dress
next to my heart,” she concluded.
