incorpoarting those no longer with us...

I think it sounds like a lovely idea.

You can also light a memorial candle during your wedding ceremony to remember those who have passed away.

Sounds lovely! My grampy who was like my Dad died earlier this year so we are using a poem about a shepherd in our ceremony as he was a sheep farmer.

I think that's a nice idea. We're naming our tables after our grandparents. ?

At the bottom of our OOD it says

"In Loving Memory of those which we love that cannot be with us today - but helped make us who we are" ?

I think thats a lovely idea.
We are having a bag pipers as my grandad was Scottish.
Also we are naming all our tables after our nans maiden names.
There are many subtle ways you can incorporate those no longer with us xxxx

Monkey Mavis I also think your words are lovely too, I have been looking for subtle ideas like this, thanks girls x

Hi there. We're having a memory tree in the corner of the room. A twig/small tree ensemble with small decorative tags with people's names on them who cannot be with us. We'll then have tea lights all around in memory.

I wanted to incorporate my brother into the day, he died when I was 10. We were going to do a tree and hang photos from it but decided against that when we saw this...

It's perfect!! It's going to sit next to the guest book with one photo of my brother at the top, one of me and a baby, one of Matt as a baby and then one at the beginning of our relationship and one now!

I think thats lovely. Im having a lady sing my Nan's favourite song at my service in memory of her as its important for me to feel as though she is there. I think its a lovely touch what you are intending on doing. x

That sounds like such a lovely idea.

Our toastmaster said a small speech for my Grampa that died 4 years ago. All me family were in tears as it was so nice, apart from my Nan who looked at my Aunty and asked he why she was crying!! She was gassing to someone on the otherside of the table trying to get their favours ?. Missed the whole thing

MrB's dad died 11 months before our wedding, he was also going to be best man. At out venue there was a little alcove at the back of the room. In there we put a double picture frame, one with a poem in about missing dad and raising a glass to him and the other slot was a photo of MrB and his dad. We still ordered a button hole and put that next to it, alongside a few tumblers and a bottle of whiskey (his favourite drink). I meant people could go up and look but it also meant if people felt emotional it was easily avoided.

I think that's a really lovely idea.

Was just talking to my mum tonight about the whole something old something new...I don't have anything old (except for H2B ? ), none of my grandparents are living and the women in my family don't have any heirlooms.

I will be the first grandchild to get married with no grandparents there at all ☹️

This is BRILLIANT!!!!

Wonderful ideas to honour those who affected our lives in a positive way at this special moment of our lives.

BRAVO to all those who thought of this.

Just make sure there are not too many tears (OF JOY and GOOD MEMORIES) shed.........id="red">id="Comic Sans MS">
