Wording for memorials to two grandfathers?

My grandfather passed away a year before my wedding, and my fiance, who was really close with his grandfather, lost his grandfather a few years ago. We want to put a note in the program saying something to the effect of "We want to remember <grandfather's name>, who isn't with us today, but wish he was..." or something. I'm horrible at wording things!!! How would you word it so that both grandfathers are included, but it's not awkward? Like "We want to remember the bride's grandfather and the groom's grandfather?" or... something? Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing.... help!

Re: Wording for memorials to two grandfathers?

  • This is what we said at the back of our program for our grandparents and other relatives:

    In Loving Memory

    On this very special day in our lives, we wish to remember our loved ones who have gone before us (you could even list them if you wanted to). We know they are here with us in spirit (we are Catholic and got married in the Church but you could change or omit if you are not religious). The special ways in which they touched our lives will remain in our hearts forever.
  • I like MissySue's wording-- will probably use that. We're also using candles lit by the mothers for our grandmothers, all three have passed.
