I am honor a very special person who passed away at my wedding in May 2007. I am honoring my grandmother who I was very close too. Her favorite flower was the yellow rose, so I am going to be carrying a single yellow rose in the middle of my bouquet to keep her close to me on my special day. She passed away 9 years ago and I was her only granddaughter so her and I had a special bond.
So, do not change your date, but try to honor your dad in a very special way in your wedding

No you should not change ur date unless u want to. At your ceremony you can honor your father by lighting a candle, puting a rose on where he would have sat. Also on the wedding program you can put something like " even though they are not with us today they are lookin on from up above and put all the deceased people close to you. At dinner you can put a rose on where he would have sat also.

not to long ago I was at a wedding, where the brides dad had passed on. What they did was have a 8 by 10 black framed
picture of her dad on the table with the seating cards, we all thought it was a nice touch

Of course not! As long as you're comfortable with the date, there's nothing wrong with it.
Are you doing anything specific during the ceremony to honor his memory? During my own wedding ceremony, I had a candle lit near the altar, and during the prayers of intention, the priest mentioned to our guests that the candle was significant of my father's spirit that is still lit within us all. When my husband and I gave flowers to our moms, we stopped at the candle first and laid flowers in memory of my dad.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

You don't have to. You can honor him by leaving a seat empty in the front row and put a flower or something that will remind you of him in the chair. You can also have the person preforming the ceremony mention him brief during the ceremony.

No, go on with your plans and find a really nice picture of him you can use at the wedding and honor him by putting his picture with a candle to light it up and be proud and happy no matter what he'll be there.

Never that! Hunny, your dad will be lookin down on you, and im pretty sure he'd be pleased with your decision. IF, it happens to rain on that day and the sun is still shining, dont look at it as if its a disaster, look at it as if your dad is crying tears of joy and happiness because his beautiful daughter (or son) made a wise decision to be happy for the rest of his/her life, with a person that he/she loves

No. Would he have wanted you to? Probably not i'd expect.
Getting married close to the date he happened to die will not make you forget your happy memories of him, or stop you telling friends and children about him. This is how you honour him, everyday. Defining him by a date is not honouring him.

Well... it's not the date of his death. And I guess you could see this as associating a new beginning or a happy memory with that time of year, instead of his death. You should only change it if it bothers you. Good luck.
