Honoring Bride's Deceased Parents

I love your idea, it's so sweet- especially the "her mother, father, and I" part!

Here are a few other ways you can add in to honor your parents:

If they had a first dance song you like, maybe play it before you walk down the aisle or see if you can walk down the aisle to it.

They make charms for bouquets for small pictures, maybe get some of those and add your parent's pictures into it. Then they can be right there the whole time!

Start your ceremony lighting a candle for them, and if you're having the ceremony and reception at the same place, keep it burning all night long. Or do the same at the reception, too.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My dad passed away before my wedding, and this is what we did to honor him:

We had pictures of our parents (with their parents) on their respective wedding days near to the guest book - obviously this only works if your parents and FH's parents are still married to one another.

I purchased a locket and had a photo of my dad in it, so he could be with me on the day.

My brother walked me down the aisle - when the priest asked "who presents this woman," he replied "on behalf of those who are here and those who are unable to be, I do."

I danced with my brother to the song from which my dad got his nickname for me.

Remember that that day is going to be full of emotion, allow yourself to feel what you feel - even if it's sad. It's probably going to be harder for you on your wedding day than it was at your brother's wedding (it was for me at least).
