Weddings are a time to remember but not to necessarily dwell on lost family members. A small dedication of flowers on an alter is not unheard of. Some couples choose to do a little more, lighting a candle in memory of a lost member. We’ve even see a small speech. What you do is up to you, just remember not to let it set the mood for the rest of the day.
One wedding we attended a few years back where the bride just lost her grandmother a week before the wedding was rather touching emotionally. One of the family members that was in the wedding was to read a poem, when he got up to read it he made it through about 10 words before he was in tears. I was thankful I had a camera to shield me, because if I was just a guest I would have joined him and half the guests.
Personally I like the candle idea or small memorial table places somewhere off to the side so it don’t flavor the whole wedding.
On a happy note:
I heard on the radio today that the Recession is officially OVER! Hopefully everyone is in agreement on this and it really is and I’ve had the last person that wanted a full blown wedding package with Albums, Engagement sessions and a ton of prints to display call to inform me that they have decided to let their Uncle Fred (or a friend) take their pictures.
