That is not the place for it.
I'd really talk to him and ask him not to. A real man to man, ya know. "Sir. This day is for your daughter, not your son. I can't, and wouldn't, forbid you from it. But I'm asking you please to reconsider. Something along the lines of 'I wish that name could have been here to see this happy day'... sometimes less is more. It's just not the place for it is all."
Best of luck, cause I doubt that works!

He has cancer and is doing chemo now so it's a double fucked up situation and i feel terrible for him but i don't think it's going to make him or anyone feel better. Fiance is going to try to handle it but I may discuss if it gets down to the wire. We're doing a brunch Sunday so we're going to suggest that as an alternative.

Delay the wedding and wait out the cancer? I kid, I kid.
On a serious note, for the non-married gents (or those who dated for years before getting married), did you ever make a big deal of "anniversaries". Today is the 3 year anniversary of, uh, first hooking up with the special lady friend. We don't make a big deal of birthdays or holidays or whatever else, in general. Just wondering if other couples do or did in the past?

My wife and I didn't even remember when we first started dating so we just assigned it to Oct 1. We didn't really do anything special just went to maybe a nicer-than-usual dinner. But neither one of us really give a flying fuck about holidays, birthdays and shit like that. Now that we're married it is still pretty much the same. Luckily we were in Hawaii for our 1st year so I kind of lucked into that one.
Mainly I think it's an emotional response that i'm thinking he'll regret and I know my fiance is going to be devastated. Everyone in the room is going to want to jump out the windows because here they are partying when this poor bastard has been put through the ringer. Brother in law gonna talk to him, he agrees it's going to be bad for all.

The wife and I personally didn't, but we did meet online so our situation may be a bit different. I know some girls are all about the omg its our 16 week anniversary and shit, but my wife was never like that. So unless she has been bringing it up a lot I'd not bother or do something simple like get her flowers to surprise her. If she has mentioned it more than once then you may want to plan more ahead.

My girlfriend and I met on 4th of July, but didn't really start dating/fucking until late August. We just used 4th of July as our anniversary as it's easier and a cool date. We don't make a huge deal of it, but I do buy her flowers and we'll do dinner at a nice place.

I think this is the proper way, if you can get the mother in law to chime in also. Maybe have a picture of the deceased / assign him a chair on the main table, with flowers.

My wife remembers the day we started dating and uses it as part of her password and pin for banking ....
That being said we never celebrated anniversaries like that. We try to get away near our wedding anniversary but we don't do cards or gifts. Maybe a dinner or a weekend trip. Same for birthdays. We keep it super chill.
