Remembering Fh's Father

Sara, on April 28, 2022 at 12:58 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 4

My FH's father is currently is hospice and we are getting married in September.

I've seen the "saved chair".

But, what are some other ways to remember him at the wedding?

I already planned to have my parents and his parents wedding photos on display at the cocktail hour to honor them as they've both been married 50+ years. Everyone else is still living.

Thanks.

    I'm planning to order charms to tie to my bouquet that will hold pictures of all our loved ones that passed away. You could also have a moment of silence before your dinner in your FH's father's honor.

    I'm going to have a little table with my grandmother's favorite flowers, her favorite candy, pictures of her, and a shadowbox that my cousin made for her funeral.

    Etsy has these custom cufflinks that I think are super cute:

    Or I've seen like patches for ties like this that you could have his father's picture or a pic of them together

    I lost my father before the wedding (and we both lost 3/4 grandparents) so we had photos of our parents with their parents at their weddings near to the guest book. We did a few other things that are more "bride" specific - I wore a locket with his picture, my brother made reference to those who were unable to be there, and he danced with me to the song from which my dad got his nickname for me.

    I specifically avoided the empty chair, because I would have been in tears (and it would have upset my mom as well).

    Have you spoken with your fiance about what kind of tribute/remembrance he might like to see/have?
