In the reel shared by Shirer, there was a picture of wedding guests posing and an image of Wynter that was displayed during the event. A few weeks prior, on what would have been her parents’ 21st wedding anniversary, Alena reflected on the grief she was feeling about the loss of her mother, who passed in 2018. She posted her thoughts alongside a picture of her parent’s on their own wedding day.
“Amidst all the fun and chaos of being a bride, I find myself staring at photos of my mom on her big day. Wasn’t she just gorgeous?!” she wrote in the caption. “If I’m being honest, I’ve felt a bit guilty when the feelings of grief have crept up on me recently. Life is so good. Too good. But man her absence is loud. As I walked and cried and shouted a word or two up to the sky today, God gently reminded me that we’re all just one step away from longing and that’s okay. Of course I long for my mom to be here. Of course it feels unfair. I long to hear her voice giggling with me. I long to send her wedding day hair mockups or ask her opinion. Sometimes I wonder what she’d say, but most times I know,” she concluded.
