FH parents

They have both passed, and he dont rarely speak of them. He is the baby, and never been married before. His family thought he would never get married. I am planning the whole thing, so how would I include them in the wedding under "In Memory"??? please help

There are a lot of ways to do this but first make sure your FH wants this as well. One way is with candles with their photos on them that can burn throughout the ceremony or reception. You could also do a in memory part in your programs. You could have pictures in frames of them somewhere in the reception perhaps the gift table or near the guest book.

haha I feel like I always post the same thing on these posts but I LOVE IT!! So I will do it again..... This might be more appropriate for people you know who have died but I might do this for his grandparents who passed as well as my mother...

I've also seen empty chairs with a rose on them to represent where the parents would have sat.

I think you should make sure that your FH is OK with this, but I like Potters idea, about having roses and empty chairs where they would have sat, Good luck!

I'm going to have my brother walk down the aisle with a rose for my mom and place it where she would have sat and FH's sister do the same for their grandpa (who was a father figure to him). Neither of the siblings are in our wedding party and I thought it was a meaningful way to include them and memorialize these important people.

I like that rose idea even better, but I like how you (jenni) had included some of the siblings... I wonder if I can work that in for those in my family as well, thou the church we are using wont have seats but like a brench thing! I get a lot of I dont cares from him so I dont even know how to bring these ideas up to him

We put a note about my Gran E in our wedding programs. We are also Catholic and mentioned her in our Prayers of the Faithful. It was a very moving moment.
