Is this story lovely or just too weird?

I know it's an old story from 2017 but I've only just seen it.

I've found it really unsettling. And would you have wanted to face this on your wedding day?

I think it’s a mixture of both

I’m sure the bride felt very overwhelmed on her wedding day as it is without the heartache of hearing her sons heart beat in another person, which reopens the wound to her sons death all over again.

I'm on the fence with this one too.

There was a Jim Carrey series on a while back that ended with him and his wife listening to their sons heart in the recipient at the end of a marathon that the boy wanted to run.

It was a lovely sentiment but irl I think it could actually be quite traumatic - although I appreciate that it's a case of never say never and everyone processes things differently.

Wedding day is probably a bit overwhelming and the RSVP reservation was odd.

I don’t find it unsettling but I can understand why someone else might.

I guess everyone has different takes on things. I assume the mother and her fiancé had spoken a lot of about her late son and his heart having been donated. Presumably he knew it was something that she would find special and helpful.

I think it would be horrible to have that as a surprise full stop. Having it as a surprise on your wedding day, in front of all your friends and family, all watching your reaction would be horrific.

I can only imagine how I would feel. Hopefully the bride felt differently.

Maybe if she’d been talking about how her son would be present in memory and the fact part of him was actually there made her happy.

Is hard to say how I’d actually react as I gave no clue.
