Honoring your loved ones at your wedding.



At your wedding there is a fine line on how to pay homage to someone you love who has passed.  You don't want to take away from the fun of the event but you want to show that you wish they were there.  Above is one simple and beautiful way to do that.  I have seen floating roses in a fountain and a kind mention during the ceremony.  I have also been around what became disasters like playing a photo montage of the mother of the bride who had died during the father/daughter dance.  Dedicating a song to someone who has died at your reception can be a bad idea as well. 
Have this in mind..."What are your expectations for that moment?"  I have witnessed a group of people crying at a wedding when a couple insisted on a tear jerking tribute. 
Wouldn't they want you to have a fun wedding?  YES!  Take care of the meaningful tributes at the ceremony and keep party time, party time.
Thoughts?  Things you have witnessed or done...post them here.

A look at Festival Hall in Racine, WI

People in Illinois have discovered that sometimes going over the border into Wisconsin can sometimes be cost effective.  Here is a look at a 250 person wedding at Festival Hall in Racine, Wisconsin.  Jake & Chrissy's ceremony was held outside on the shores of Lake Michigan.  The bride and groom had a big open place that they had to decorate and they did have to bring in a caterer so yes, there was a little more work to pull it all off but the result was a perfect celebration of their love.  The dancefloor was packed all night too with their choice in DJ, Fun Times DJ!
