Katie Gaudreau’s wedding: a brilliant tribute to her brothers

It’s truly touching what the couple has prepared and put in place to honor Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau.

With each little attention revealed in the article, tears welled up in my eyes, thinking back to the horrible tragedy that completely shook the National Hockey League and the entire hockey world.

“We have honoured my brothers in many ways to reflect who they were and the joy they brought to this world. We keep their legacies alive through various tributes in their name.” – Katie Gaudreau

First, one of the first tributes Katie revealed was to her veil, where she took the time to inscribe “Love you – Matty” and “Love ya – Johnny” in her brothers’ exact handwriting.

“It was their words, their hands, a part of them that accompanied me and spoke to me as I walked down the aisle, each on one side of the veil protecting me.” – Katie Gaudreau

Here are more Overtime tributes from the wedding:

• Beautiful photos of the two Gaudreau brothers were printed in the jacket of Guy Gaudreau, the father.
• All the groomsmen, as well as Katie’s husband’s father, wore socks with the numbers 13 and 21, the Gaudreau brothers’ numbers.
• Rose bouquets containing exactly 13 or 21 roses, depending on the bouquet.
• A video montage showing Johnny and Matthew laughing, dancing and lighting up every room they entered.

During the video, Katie Gaudreau replicated the same dance Johnny Gaudreau had done at his own wedding, making for a very touching moment.

In short, it’s truly a beautiful tribute that was paid to the Gaudreau brothers by their sister, and seriously, I very strongly invite you to go read the People article and check out all the photos in the article, as well as in the stories on Katie Gaudreau’s Instagram account.

It’s really worth it.
