Any Ways to Memorialize Dearly Departed?
What are some upbeat ways I can remember
deceased relatives and friends on my wedding day?
It’s a touching idea to find a way to honor those you
have loved. Here’s how: You can pay tribute to them
in your wedding program by either inserting a small paragraph
about them or including their photograph. You could also decide
to choose a favorite poem or reading of the deceased; print
it in the program and have it read at the ceremony.
Other options are to use your loved one’s favorite
color throughout your day or fill your bouquet with flowers
that remind you of him or her. If you’re planning to
display some photographs at the reception, add a few favorites
of you with the deceased to the collage.
And finally, there’s no sweeter way to remember someone
than with desserts. You can use her treasured recipe for the
wedding cake or serve one of her famous or all-time favorite
desserts in addition to the wedding cake. If you go with a
sweet treat, be sure to print the person’s name next
to the dessert on the menu cards.
