Re: honoring those lost loved ones on your ceremony programs...
I haven't gotten up to this part of planning yet, but I do plan to include a page dedicated to family members that have passed. We are going to put the page at the end, because I really want it to be noticed. I think a nice way to word it would be a title-- I'm thinking we will use 'You Are my Special Angel' or something along those lines. Then we'll have a poem/lyric/quote about passing on, but in a manner that reminds the guests that they are still here with us. We may use 'The Best is Yet to Come' by Frank Sinatra. When my Nan passed, I put lyrics to that song in her coffin at the wake, so there's a very sentimental value.
Then we will list each person's name and their relation to either myself or FH. We'll signify who they are by the names that we called them, ie:
Sally S. Smith (Bride's Nan) John J. Jones (Bride's Gramps)

No - didn't take long at all. I wrote from the heart about how I miss my Dad and brother. Then included a pic of each. I think you go with what you are comfortable with. Even just putting a line like 'Forever in our hearts' or something like that and writing their names is nice. I say play around with it a little bit and you'll know when you see it what is your personality.

Re: honoring those lost loved ones on your ceremony programs...
yeah thats true. i already have an idea of how and what i want to write in that section of my program honoring my lost loved ones. the only thing i am confused about and dont know and need help with is where do you put it in the program? im guessing girls on here have usually put it in the back as like the last page? and having a title like, 'in loving memory' or 'remembering the loved ones who couldn't be here with us on this special day'!?
