Memorial to a Loved One Who Has Passed Away

Weddings are such a joyous, happy time of celebration. But it can be hard to have a wedding soon after a loved one dies.

A couple might ask the minister to remember their loved one with a prayer or to have a simple moment of silence during the ceremony. Others light a candle, or read a special poem, have a special song, or put a photo of their loved one or a rose on the altar in remembrance. There are many lovely, creative ways to honor a loved one during your wedding service!

Cheri's wedding was soon after her grandmother died. Grandma loved weddings, so a wedding at that time was bittersweet. Cheri wore a bracelet with a family gold locket (her "something old"), and inside the locket was a photo of her grandmother. Grandma danced at the wedding after all!

Wedding blessings,
Pastor Barbara
