Doing it in the week of his death or month of his death just seems wrong.
Sort of like getting married the week of your dead husbands/wife's funeral....There's a lack of respect there that is extremely pointed and tasteless.
Gosh, I dunno, there are a lot of non-refundable deposits that need to be made to support a wedding, some on the order of tens of thousands of dollars. Also, let's say that you have 50-100 relatives coming into town via airplane. How do you manage the cost to them of cancelling?
Finally, funerals and weddings are both supposed to be celebrations of life. At a funeral, you acknowledge, remember, and celebrate through your presence and respect the many things the person accomplished and the lives they touched. How does a wedding invalidate that?
I understand the sentiment of your post, but I think you just made an overgeneralization without thinking everything through, and one constant of the O'Club is that we all make sure everyone notices their mistakes.
