Honoring a Deceased Parent or Friend at Your Wedding

Many times people think that they should honor a deceased parent or friend on their wedding invitations. This is no longer the modern tradition.  You should honor someone that has passed and meant a great deal to your life.  There are several methods that you can honor someone that is special at your wedding.

One of the simplest ways to honor a deceased person for your wedding is to include a small paragraph on your wedding program.  This is an excellent way to pay tribute to them and to include them in your wedding ceremony.  Where you place it on the wedding program is entirely up to the couple.

Another way to honor someone that has died at your wedding is to place a candle in their honor near where the vows will be taken.  You can light the candle together as a couple or have it pre-lit prior to the wedding ceremony.  A small note can be placed in the program the reason for the lit candle.
