honoring deceased mother on wedding day

danzers02

my wedding date is going to be on my late mother's b-day, september 25, 2010. she passed due to injuries from a motorcyle accident 8 years ago. I e thijust wondering if anyone had ideas on how to tastefully display "in memory of" "tokens".  I have thought of a special czndle maybe but that is all. Thanks!

We're putting a memorial in our program.

Mom died when I was 9.  I put a photo of both my parents on a table, and an "In Memoriam" note in the program.  Be careful about going too far - it's your wedding, not her funeral.  Memorials can become awkward if they're not subtle.

My dad and Nick's mom have passed away so between the two of us we have my mom, nick is going to walk down the aisle first and put a single rose in each of the chairs they would have sat in, we also got a in memory of vase, it'll have sand and a candle. We are going to put it on the guest book table.

we are figuring this out too.  my fi's parents both passed away 5 years ago, and about a year before we started dating, so i never knew them.  on the back page of our program, after we thank our friends for coming, there is a line- We greatly miss our loved ones who cannot be with us today, but who we know are watching over us still.  Most dearly missed but always in our hearts, James and Sandra B....
