Would love some ideas on how we can incorporate my late nan into our wedding. Thank you.
Question Asked: 29/04/2021 Wedding Date: 9/08/2018
There are many ways to honour a lost one, and these have been included in some of the other responses. When I work with couples to draw a loved one in to the ceremony that the focus is not so much of making a point of it or even drawing a reference to the loved one. For the majority it has been important to the couple to have some memory or symbol there but it doesnt have to be called out. A simple candle, a photo or a charm that is visible to the couple but not so much that it detracts for the ceremony or the experience. A wedding is a time of joy so work with the celebrant to ensure the inclusion brings you joy or melancholy, but avoid sadness. No doubt your nan would not want to think a memory invokes sadness in your event. Your memory and reason for wanting a way to honour your nan is likely a very personal one that resonates with you more than it does your guests, so I would advise keeping it understated and personal.
