Its my wedding soon.. and I want to honour some of my close family members who have passed away, how can i do that - to include their memory in the wedding too?
Re: Honouring a parent's memory.
I once attended a wedding where the bride's father had passed away.They had a huge portrait of him placed at the door of the venue,where other family members were standing to welcome the guests.

Re: Honouring a parent's memory.
I've seen pics of parents, siblings, and grandparents who have passed away included in the slideshow. I've also heard them mentioned during speeches (ex: I've seen a speech where a dad mentioned how he wished his wife was there to see the daughter get married; I've seen parents mention the grandparents etc).
On a more personal level....1 of my cousins wore some gold bangles left to her by her deceased grandmother on the wedding day (of course only the close family members knew the significance of the jewelry). Another bride I know...her mother passed away few years back. During the nikah, she wore a sari that actually belonged to her mother. For the reception she choose a navy blue outfit b/c that was her mother's fav. color (once again, only close family members and close friends knew the significance).
Re: Honouring a parent’s memory.
You can hang some old photos from a manzanita tree. You could also do a clothespin photo wall…i guess you could title it ‘wish you were here’ or ‘in memory of…’
