Is it weird to want to invite my old CF doctor to my wedding? A topic came up on CF2chat and my answer included inviting Dr H to my wedding when I get married. But then it made me wonder if that is strange. And if he would really come. And if I would have to invite the NP and one really awesome secretary that was there.
I would love to invite him since I had been seeing him since age 5. He really is like a second father to me. But I am unsure of the protocol for things like this ya know.
What do you all think?
And BTW, no I am not engaged or anything, like I said, the topic came up and I wanted to expand on it :)
I invited mine. He was unable to actually come but sent a wonderful gift, a book. If you have had the chance to see "The Other Side of Heaven" that story is about his brother. He gave me an autographed book that his brother wrote, it was a very personal and touching gift. So I would vote Yes, invite them. . .they are a big part of our lives growing up :)
ReplyDeletei don't think it's weird at all. my two close CF friends growing up both invited their pediatric CF docs and their adult CF docs to their weddings. and then they both sat me at the table with the "CF crew," which meant i actually sat at the table with all my old docs from before i left colorado. haha, lovely.
ReplyDeletebottom line: our doctors and nurses are a HUGE part of our lives. by all means we should feel comfortable inviting them to important milestone events -- hell, they helped us get there! if they don't wish to or can't attend, that's fine, but it's never weird to invite them.
I'm very close with my CF dr; I've seen her for 12 years. I don't think it is weird at all!

I invited both my Dr( and his wife) and my Nurse Pract ( and her husband) to our wedding. They play such an important roll in my life, that I wanted to share my joy with them. I would have felt worse if I did'nt invite them.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone :) I feel better about this now and I am definitely inviting Dr H and his wife!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI would 100% invite my CF doc to my wedding! He has been the key to keeping me healthy to reach many of my goals in life - hopefully marriage one day :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are well, Amy
I invited my current and pediatric Dr! Pediatric couldn't make it (because of a CF conference, ironic!), but he sent great gift. Other Dr loved it, also invited 2 physiotherapists! They really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's weird at all. I invited my doctors and most of the staff from my care team at childrens. I didn't invite my adult doc I had at the time though because he was an ass, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely invite my doctor, that's one way of saying how grateful I am for having her in my life.
