We're just going to set up a small table with a candle for my grandfather and one for DF's aunt. We wanted to honor them, but not be very conspicuous.
I saw a gorgeous rememberence candle that I plan to make in honor of my father. If you scroll through the pics of this wedding, then you will see the candles.

I also plan to wed on my father's birthday.
We're having a note on the program and, since we're doing a full Catholic Mass, having one of the intentions be for "those who could not be with us today, including HisFather, MyGrandfather, etc..."
It's been 10 years since his father passed and we want our day to be a celebration, not reminding everyone in his family any more than they already will be of how his dad isn't here.

Alright - here's the thing. I grew up mostly with my grandmother who was a science teacher by day and worked as a bridal seamstress at a bridal shop after school (I'll give you a moment to think about how COOL this was for a little girl!). Obviously I always imagined her being there for my wedding, helping with my dress, etc. With sadness I say that she passed away unexpectedly last March.
In addition to this, my fiancee's father passed about 4-5 years ago just before we met.
We are having an outdoor beach wedding and want to find someway to remember them. Some ideas include having an extra chair "Reserved" on each side of the aisle; including a small 'in remembrance of....' at the bottom of our programs; or having an 'Rememberance Easel' out by the cocktail area. I'm affraid the latter might make our guests feel a little wierded out, but it was an idea.
I'm already 'borrowing' a piece of jewelry from my grandmother and sewing it into the inside of my dress (only I'll know its there, which is fine by me - it doesnt go with the rest of the dress and its small).
We want to remember them and show people we 'know' they are there with us, but if we can't find a way to do it without it becoming a "Wedding Bummer" or scaring our guests then maybe it just needs to be personal feeling to us and not shared among others.
So how did you remember loved ones at your wedding - if you even did at all?
