Honoring Mom

Mrs. Hendrick

Any ideas for honoring the late mother of the bride. We wanted something more than a candle burning without making the whole ceremony about her. Any suggestions>?

We had our officiant read a little prayer at the beginning of the ceremony honoring those that couldn't be there with us.

I'm doing my honoring at the reception. We're having the pastry chef bake a loaf of Irish Soda Bread for each table. We'll have a card explaining the bread, and have the recipes as a take away for the guests. I am not doing anything at the ceremony. My brother and sister both had a picture of her at the front. I know others that have placed a rose on the chair that would traditionally be reserved for the MOB.

There have been so many threads on this, I would read back a few pages or so.

You could wear a piece of her jewelry or put something of hers on your bouquet wrap, place a single flower on the chair where she would have sat, mention her in the program.

We put a thank you to our friends and families and a few words to honor those who we lost in our programs and I had a bouquet charm with a picture of my mom, dad and I as a family.  Our wording was:

	Thank you to our family and friends for traveling from near and far to share wonderful memories of our wedding day.  And thank you to our parents for your continuous love and support  At this joyous time we wish to remember family and friends who are not able to be here today. And for those loved ones who have gone before, we hold your memory close in our hearts today and always. In Memory of Name   There are also candles and picture frames with wording to remember you mother.  Hope that helps!

For my dad we had a moment of silence and left an empty spot in the pew in the front row. My entire family gave me away since he couldn't, and his dad walked me down the aisle.

We are having a rose placed on MOG's chair in her honor.
