Opinions needed with Program Wording

My wedding is this weekend and I am trying to finish up last minute details such as printing up my programs. I wanted to include a line remembering those people who have passed away without sounding too morbid. I was thinking something to the effect of 'B and R remember those who are attending in spirit'. What do you think? Thanks.

Some people just write:
On this special day we would like to remember those who are with us in spirit:
Names

I think that is very nice and not morbid at all.

I don't think that it is morbid at all. I am planning on doing the same thing. I haven't worked out the wording yet, so sorry that I can give any suggestions.
Good luck this weekend!

Thanks ladies! Michelle that line is perfect. Just added it in, but I am not going to write any names because I don't want to exclude people and hurt anyone's feelings.

I'm planning on doing the same thing too. It's not morbid at all.

Re: Opinions needed with Program Wording

We are working through similar wording. Yours sounds fine. Not morbid at all to remember someone near to you in spirit.

We're thinking of something like...thanks to our family and friends for sharing our joy...those who are here with us today, and those here in spirit.

We've had a few recent deaths in the family, and want to mention them but not dwell on the sadness that the family has been working through.

Best wishes with your planning!!

Barbara:

Just wanted to say good luck - I'll be thinking of you! As you know - not only do we share the same reception hall, but the same church as well. I can't wait to hear how everything goes!

Have a beautiful day and enjoy every minute!!!
