Anyone have any good ideas for how to honor/involve our parents during the ceremony?

    DH and I gave our moms/grandmas single stem roses.  FG are adorable if you have them, but your delivery allows kisses to be given.

    We're doing the sand ceremony. My mom will pour the sand in the vase, my fiance's dad will pour the sand, then me and my fiance will pour the sand at the same time signifying the two families coming together as one.

    I think my FI and I are doing the "trinity" ceremony, where the pastor talks about you, him, and God.  (its a traditional christian ceremony).  Instead of having the three pieces of cloth already at the alter for the pastor to bride, we are having my mother and his father (or a parental figure from each side) hold our cloth until the ceremony.Hopefully, it will get the message across that we come from our families, are individuals, and together with the third cloth, we are becoming one.Does that make sense?  It is still in the planning phase....
