Our programs simply say this:

Forever in our Hearts
With us in Spirit
on our Wedding Day…


And there is a list of our grandparents who are no longer here. Very simple. I showed FSIL the other day and she said it's going to make FMIL cry. I still think it's the right thing to do.

This light shines for my father
Stuart
Who is in our hearts on our
Wedding day and always
To bless us in spirit
As we begin our life together

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.

-or-

Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.

Don’t think of them as gone away-
Their journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets,
This Earth is only one.

Just think of them as resting,
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.

Think how they must be wishing
That we would know today
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of them as living
In the hearts of those they touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And they were loved so much.

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

Someone Is Missing'

Let this candle be a loving reminder
that someone is missing today,
Someone our hearts still hold on to,
As we travel along life's way.
Someone who made life so special,
for all those who gather here,
Someone who won't be forgotten,
But cherished from year to year.
And now as we pause to remember,
Let us all fondly recall,
how dearly each of us loved them,
and oh... they he loved us all!

We wish our loved ones were here with us
This very special day,
'Cause they were like a rush of sun
Before they went away.
We light this candle so that we
Might bring them here awhile,
As we remember their bright flame,
their laughter and their smile.
We wish that they could share with us
The happiness we feel,
'Cause knowing that they knew our joy
Would make it all more real.
But even though they’re not with us,
Their presence is still strong,
'Cause in their heart we'll always find
The love for which we long.
