FI and I want to remember my father and his brother and grandpa at our wedding, so we want to light a candle at the ceremony for them and put a little "A candle was lit in memory of ..." on our program.
So, what is the best way to word it for the program? The "candle was lit for" sounds weird to me.
There are decorative memorial candles on etsy (like
this) that FI likes, but they just scream funeral to me, and I'm not sure I would want to keep something like that (FI would). Should we invest in one of these or just light a simple (and cheap) candle?
Also, when should we light the candle? I was thinking right after I walk down the aisle, before the Rev starts the ceremony. And should he say something about it? We don't really want to draw a lot of attention to it, because it is a wedding, not a funeral.
