Empty Chair, How Amanda Manopo 'Brings' Her Late Mother into Happy Wedding Moments

Kapanlagi.com - Amanda Manopo is currently happy about her marriage to Kenny Austin. In this happy moment, Amanda Manopo still remembers her late mother. As a form of respect and love, Amanda dedicated a special moment to her late mother during the blessing ceremony held on Friday (10/10) at Langham.

The Manopo family specifically provided one empty seat in the front row as a memorial for her late mother. According to Angelica Manopo, Amanda's wedding was one of her mother's biggest dreams, so her presence is still felt in this sacred moment.

1. Amanda's Wedding is the Hope of the Late Mama During Her Lifetime

"Yes. This is definitely a hope that our family wants, especially from the late Mama, you know. That's why we prepared a chair in memory of the late Mama, which reminds us because this is a sacred moment," said Amanda's sister, Angelica Manopo, in the SCBD area.

On that special chair, there is a white cloth with the word "reserved" and the phrase "Even though mom is not here, her love and happiness will be with you forever."

Amanda's mother passed away on July 25, 2021, after suffering a blood clot in the brain due to contracting Covid-19.

The symbolic presence of the mother made the atmosphere even more emotional. Amanda couldn't hold back her tears, partly because she remembered that she couldn't share this happy moment directly with her mother.

"Yes, because it definitely reminds me that mom is not here during her wedding moment," explained Angelica.

2. Don't Forget to Visit Mother's Grave

Not only that, before the wedding, Amanda was also known to have taken the time to visit her mother's grave. This is proof of how deep her love and longing for her mother is.

"We do have plans to go there, yes. Amanda also managed to go there yesterday. Yes, that's right. That's how it is," she concluded.
