Honoring loved ones who are no longer with them is something many couples want to incorporate into their wedding.  Paying homage to those of late who played important roles in the brides and groom’s life is a moving and meaningful experience.

Couples may choose to incorporate private details into their wedding.  The bride may wear a piece of jewelry or an accessory that was given to her by the person being honored.  She may have a written prayer dedicated to that person ensconced in her bouquet.  The groom may carry a trinket in his lapel pocket or wear cufflinks given to him by the departed.

For those who want the sentiment to be shared with guests, there are tasteful ways to recognize the person’s memory.  A poem or dedication can be read.  The bride or groom, a friend or relative or whomever performed the ceremony can read it either during the ceremony or at the reception.  A picture of the person or pictures of the remembered with the bride and groom may be displayed on the gift table or with the sign-in book.  A written dedication can be added to the programs.

Remembering and including those memories into your wedding will make it even more gratifying for you.  The extra touches of reminiscence will make your day even more special.
