I am go ing to make a memorial of all the family members we lost. I am going to have a picture of all of them with dates and the song IF I had only known playing. Then I am going to make copies for everyone because its going to have a lot of pictures that the families had not seem before of the family members.

There are going to be so many tears. I teared up just reading this. It is a beautiful way to remember the bride's father.

I am getting married in Three months and in the last year i have lost my fiance's Grandfather and my Grandfather is dying. My fiance's grandmother and grandfather raised him and my grandparents were such a Huge part of my life. I am doing three things. One is just for me and my FH. I am putting one jewel per grandparent that cant be here and one for my fiance to wear. And we are dedicating "if heaven wasnt so far away" by Justin Moore to them. And we have a table with all the grandparents wedding pictures. some ppl think its over the top but they meant so much to us.

My brother always loved anything to do with airplanes…he worked as an a & p mechanic at the time of his death. In honor of my brother, we've decided to have little paper airplanes flown instead of rice, birdseed or bubbles!! Love you and miss you Bill!

We are planning on having a single spotlight on the center of the dance floor while playing “Dance with my Father Again” by Luther Vandruss for the Father/Daughter dance since the Bride’s father passed away recently and the Bride wants him remembered. Toward the end of the song her uncle (his best friend) will take the bride out on the floor and finish the dance with a picture of the dad projected overhead, smiling down. Hope to be very moving

Both of my grandfathers and my fiances great grandfather (who he was very close to) all passed away so we will be decorating a chair with flowers and maybe a bow and we will be adding This Seat is saved for…

I am getting married next year and have recently lost my grandmother, my fiance and i have decided to send a message to her by tying a message to a helium balloon in her favourite colour and my daughter is going to let it go at my ceremony.

I lost my mom just 8 months before my wedding.. I put her picture on a chair so she could see me get married.. each of my sisters (they were my bridesmaids) and I placed a rose of her favorite color on the chair where she "would" be sitting. We played her favorite song at the wedding as well.. It's bitter sweet not having your parent or loved one there!. I also bought a vase with a loving memory on it and placed it as guests walked in.

My father past away so he won't be walking my down the aisle. So before I come in we are going to play You Are My Sunshine (our song) and show a picture of my dad and I and then my two brothers will walk me down the aisle.

Honestly, I would do something subtle but sweet and unique to that individual if it is someone close to you (Mother, Father, Child). I lost my father 2 months ago, and I think we are going to do a rememberance in the back of the program, a rose in his seat, and the favor is going to be a donation in his name to a charity that supports the cause we lost him too. I've seen great displays right when the guests walk in to sign a book, or collect their escort cards, with a nice framed picture, along with a short paragraph on whatever you'd like to say to your guests about him or her. I don't think you want to go over the top with songs or anything because if you're anything like me, you'd lose it at your own wedding. And it's supposed to be a happy day, and you want to try to get through it as best and happy as you can, keeping them in memory.
