My cousin passed away a little over three years ago and I would love to do something special for/with my aunt and uncle at my wedding since it was their only daughter and I consider them a second set of parents to me.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want it to be TOO sad or anything b/c i was thinking about a dance with my uncle, but I don't think he'd be able to handle that...he would break down, i THINk...and I don't want that...
I'd appreciate any ideas you may be able to give me!
TIA!!

If she had a favorite flower or color you could incorporate that into your bou-k - and put a note in the program that you are doing so in memory of your cousin. And you could also give your aunt a coursage and your uncle a bout w/ the same flower.

I love the idea of putting a prayer or something like that in your program. I also like the idea of putting 1 flower that's different frrom the others in your bo-k to honor her.

A rememberance candle is nice. I've also seen vases where you can have a name written in memory of someone.

We are doing a donation favor in memory of our respective fathers who have passed away.

My brother passed away almost 2 years ago. We are doing a memorial candle, and I am walking down the aisle with a locket with his picture in it. Also, during the reception we are putting a picture on our table with the locket and candle....The candle also has a beautiful poem, everyone cried when I told them it!

Not to be too personal, but did she die of something specific? If so, maybe you can make a donation in her honor instead of giving out favors.

I love the idea of giving your Aunt & Uncle something special. All of these ideas are very nice.

You could have one of her favorite songs played at the reception and make a dedication to her - FH's cousin did this at his wedding for his aunt who passed and it was really nice. It gave everyone a few minutes to think about her and made it feel like she was a part of the wedding.

We did a memorial table with setting and all. The CH setup a small table with 3-4 5x7 pictures of our family (my grandparents, my only aunt, my husbands father) and then set two place settings (china, chairs and all) up with lit candles. It was beautiful. It was non-obtrusive. Guests were able to walk by and view it, the guests loved it alot of people were taking pictures. I added a poem in one of the frames also dedicated to them. They were there with us in spirit. We also made mention of them within our wedding program.

I love all of these ideas...we are already going to do a memory table, but there will also be grandparents who the table will be dedicated too...so in order to do something specifically for her, I think that the flower idea is AWESOME. i love it! and then giving them each one of those flowers...greeat idea!!
