Ways to remember a loved one at the ceremony?

I will be getting married around the beginning of May of 2013 to an amazing man.  We both 28 years old and he has taken on something many cannot do emotionally. My 10 yr old daughter passed away suddenly in 2010 and, despite not actually ever meeting her as we met in 2011, he stays by my side through the all of my up and downs.  I know that she would love him and I am so grateful for his kindness, compassion, and support.  

At our ceremony I want to do something special in rememberance of my little girl.  I will be adding a photo charm of her to my bouquet; however, I want to do more.  I have heard of lighting a candle but I still do not feel that is enough.  I would greatly appreciate any ideas or advice. Thank you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter.  For the ceremony itself, I would probably only do the candle and if you are having a ceremony where peititions are read (I know this is part of a Catholic ceremony) I would include one for her.  For a personal touch, you could always leave your wedding bouquet at her headstone.

I'm so sorry for your lost.

I agree with PP about the candle and have a reading for her. You could also have a picture of her in an "In loving Memory" frame by your guest book. Or make an "In Memory of" notation in your wedding ceremony program (towards the end) and include a brief one or two line verse about how although she is no longer here in physical form, her presence remains with you, or something equally appropriate.

My fiance and I were VERY close to our grandfathers and both passed away we are going to do candles at the ceremony lit by our grandmothers and then at the reception we are going to have a table filled with photos of us with our grandparents while growing up
