Our wedding is just over a month away, and I do not know how to acknowledge those that can't be there with us.
My future MIL lost her dad 6 months ago. The father of the groom also lost his mother within the last 10 years. My mom has lost both of her parents (12, and 20 years ago), and my dad lost his mom 20 years ago (but now his father just got engaged for the 5th time). Also my finances grandma's cousin lost her husband this year.
We want to pay tribute to those that cannot be there with us, but we do not want it to be overly emotional, and also be sensitive to my grandpa's new fiance.
Most of my family will not be able to be there on our wedding day, as we are getting married 1000 miles away from where I grew up.
Any ideas on how to do this tastefully?
