Remebering those past?

Hi guys,

So both my FI and I's fathers have passed away and we want to do something to remember them by at the wedding ceremony. Has anyone done this or seen it done? We were thinking having a candle lite for each of them beside us on the altar and maybe flowers in the pew where they would have sat. Anything else?

Thanks, sorry about the depressing Monday morning topic, hehe.

I am doing a bouquet locket, I 'borrowed' the idea from pictures like this:

and made this the other day for my own bouquet:

FH's mom has passed on so I made her a Memory Candle to be lit during the ceremony. Our officiant gave us the idea of using her flame to light our Unity Candle. I know it's going to be a very touching and beautiful moment.

ETA: FH will also be wearing an angel pin on his lapel.

We are having them mentioned in our programs. Having a candle lit for them and having them mentioned during the ceremony.

MY FH's mother and my older brother have both passed away. We are lighting memory candles for them at the church. I just wanted to do something at the church b/c I know it is going to be really upsettting and I didnt want to bring it to the reception.

Sorry I hope this helps.
