On the day of her wedding, a bride received a letter and card from her deceased father.

When Philip Hargreaves, her father, passed away at the age of 53 from oesophageal cancer, 32-year-old Freya Rosati was just 11 years old.

They used to work together on everything. If Freya’s mother ever said ‘no,’ her dad would always

answer ‘yes.’He would take her to dancing lessons, watch movies with her, and play games with her.

But in the weeks leading up to his passing, Philip composed nine cards for Freya, eight for birthdays and one for her wedding.

Instead of Philip giving the father-of-the-bride speech, Theresa read the card to the wedding guests, leaving everyone inconsolable.

The Buckinghamshire bride remarked, ‘Even just looking at his handwriting on that card, it really simply seemed like

he was there, and it was really beautiful. ‘The reading of the card was such a sad moment, but it was also so significant to me.’

when your proudest father in the world, I would love to be there with you when you walk down the aisle with the man

you love and begin the next phase of your life. Enjoy every aspect of today since it is your day. Laugh and sob. Be joyful and self-assured.

Face any situation head-on. You will then achieve success in your shared existence. With your sense of humor,

intellect, understanding, and loving attitude, you helped me feel proud in some of the most memorable occasions of my life. Do not ever alter. I’ll always love you, dad.

Freya, a self-described ‘daddy’s girl,’ was anxious to involve her father as much as possible on her special day.

As a result, there were subtle nods to their 11 years of marriage throughout the music and decorations.

Freya used steel pans to accompany her as she walked down the aisle after taking a vacation to Antigua.

At the entrance to the wedding location, a ‘memory tree’ was decorated with pictures of Philip and Freya.
