how to go about

Name: Marissa
Question:

My mother passed away a couple years ago and i was just wondering how to go about making her a part of my day without it being tacky and too depressing?
should we just mention her in a speech quickly or could i have a picture of her or do you have any ideas for me?


The greatest way to honor a deceased parent at a wedding is to light a candle for that person and have that mentioned in the program if you are having programs. If not, just as you get to the alter, have the minister or whomever you are having officiate the wedding announce to the guests to please remain standing while the bride lights the candle representing her mother, and have him say her name. Also during your reception mention her in a speech but remember this is a day of happiness that isn't ment to be sad at all. Good luck I hope it all works out for you!
