To think it's best to postpone wedding or am I being selfish

Me and stbdh have been together 10 years and engaged for 2.
We're supposed to be getting married in a couple of weeks but there was an awful bereavement on his side over the weekend.
I think the wedding is to close as people would still be very raw and (here's why I think I'm just being a selfish cow) I want the day to be happy. The family keep coming up with ideas to remember her on the day and now it's just starting to sound like it's going to be a funeral.
The actual funeral will probably take place days before the wedding as well. I just don't want the family to think I'm forcing them to be happy on the wedding day. I'd rather they had proper time to grieve than put on a show iyswim.
Dp doesn't think we should postpone it but I'm really starting to think it's for the best.
Aibu?

I think either decision is neither right or wrong. Id be guided by the young girls family and how easy it is to cancel. Yanby to consider cancelling but yanbu to go ahead with the wedding. 💐💐💐

I would want to postpone. I don't see how anything could be celebrated the same week that you bury your niece.

What a terrible, terrible loss. I'm so sorry OP.
