| My brother passed away when I was eight. Although it was a long time ago, I still want to remember him quietly. The back page of the program will have an excerpt of the Little Prince (which my Mom read to us when we were children) with "For JPG" under it. I am also having a photo charm made which I will tie to my bouquet. http://www.planetjill.com/ (they ship to Canada) I do like the ideas of having "In Loving Memory" in the program and an empty chair or memory candle...but it was a long time ago a lot of people don't know that I had a brother so I will do it this way.

My FH's dad passed away 2.5 years ago - I'm not sure he wants to do anything in regards to remembering him on the day.. that may sound mean.. not too sure how it will come across. I've left it up to him to decide what he wants to do with it. I'm not making any decision in regards to it.

| We're in a similar situation. By the time of our wedding my mom will have been dead for 10 months and his grandmother 11 months. In the three years leading up to it we've both lost several other relatives too. So we're having two candles, one on either side of the aisle. And just after my dad gives me away, before we take those last few steps to the minister, we will turn and light our respective candles in memories of the loved ones on both sides of the family. We're not saying anything. In our programs it will mention the meaning and on the guest table as they come in the reception there will be those two candles and a small note with a cute poem/saying on it. That was our solution. Nothing too mournful, but something to show we miss them and are thinking of them. Taren

| FH's father died of a sudden heart attack when FH was quite young, so he wanted to honour him in some way without drawing a lot of attention. His solution was to give a donation to the Heart and Stroke foundation as a part of our favours; anyone who knows about FH's father will probably figure out the significance on their own, and anyone who doesn't know will just think we're making a donation to a worthy cause. The symbolism is there for FH and for those who can recognize it, but we're not drawing special attention to the fact that his dad's no longer with us.

| My FH and I both lost our mom's a few years ago...our solution for remembering them will be a locket with their pics in it, hanging from my bouquet. I don't think that I want my mom mentioned at the ceremony, b/c it will just be upsetting to me and my sister's and I want our wedding to be a happy time! It'll be enought that we are thinking of them on our day and I'm sure everyone else will be too.
