One word: puppetry.

Leave a chair empty where they would be sitting with a rose or a flower on it.

ok i know u want them to be a part of the ceremony but they will be there in spirit on there own free will… at the reception u can deff make a speech and mention the people that can not be here with us today.. and of course have pictures of them.. there wedding pictures would be perfect.. in fact i think u should do the whole family urs and his wedding photos!

How about incorporating some of their favorite things, like a favorite flower as a decoration or in your bouqet.
You could also mention them at the reception in a speech by you or a family member.
Congratulations!

I say don’t. Your guests are there to see the LIVING MARRIED COUPLE only. A noble gesture, but not the right place for remembrance. Do it at another time privately, please.

Congratulations! I don’t know how formal you are thinking so here are two excellent sites that give a wide range of ways you can incorporate the memory of a loved one without “bringing down” the mood! Good Luck!

On the programs you can add a special dedication. “In loving memory of _____ and ____” Also, when you light the unity candle you can have two additional candles that you and your Husband light. The other idea is putting there favorite flower on an empty chair.

My idea is DON’T. If I am invited to what is traditionally a happy celebration then I am coming prepared to have a good time, not to mourn, especially not to mourn people I barely know. A wedding is supposed to be about the joy of two people starting a new family, and honestly I’ve been tempted to stand up and say “Sorry, I must have come to the wrong church — I thought this was a wedding.” If your family wants to come together PRIVATELY for a prayer or some other remembrance of departed loved ones, that is a private matter and entirely up to those involved. But please don’t force this on your guests. It not only rains all over a joyous mood, but it will incite cynical guests to comment “So she’s not getting enough attention as The Bride, but going after another dollop of attention as Little Miss Mournful. What a drama queen!”

Two different ideas for this one –
One is to leave a space open for where they would have been sitting during the ceremony.
The other idea is to have a second “flower girl” who carries a rose down the aisle for each of the deceased relatives in their memory and honor.
