Anyone Honoring a deceased family member at the wedding ceromony?

Original post by Jackiwedd

I have a little problem. My family wants me to honor my aunt who was very influential in my life) at the ceremony-Nothing big, just acknowledgement.
I on the other hand think it is more important to honor my FH deceased father.
But doing both would be just out of hand, I dont want it to be too depressing-After all I am getting married.
Opinions??

My fiance and I have quite a few people that we want to honor who have passed on, so we are encourporating a moment of silence to honor the ancestors who have passed; very native american, but it works in with our Earth-Spiritual ceremnoy. Perhaps you could do the same type of thing, and just have a moment of silence. We figured that if we named one, then there would always be another and antoher, and then there is the 'why didn't they mention my mom' problem. This way, everyone can think of who they want to , and all get honored.

My mother is getting bagpipe for our ceremony as a tribute to my grandparents who have passed away.. I am going to include a small message about it in the program
