My fiance's parents are both deceased. My parents are both living. What can I do to honor his deceased parents. When my mom lights the unity candle, can a representative from his family light it for him. I don't want him to feel sad, please help.

DaughterRhonda I'm so sorry to hear about your fiance's loss. Maybe you could just sit down and talk with him about it. What would be significant for him? Inviting his parents into the intimacy of your wedding (figuratively) can be such a beautiful and spiritual event. I'm sure he'll feel proud of himself knowing he worked so hard (with your support) to honor his parents.
Thanks Southernthoughts, I truly appreciate your input. He was very close to his mom and I would want to honor his parents during our ceremony. I will be sure to talk to him and offer my support. Thanks.

This is a bud vase that can be used to honor those passed, Rony you may want to consider this for your FH friend/groomsman that recently passed
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

DaughterRhonda what did you end up doing for your husband's parents?
Both of my FH's parents were murdered when he was young. He was raised by his grandparents but they are both now deceased as well. I want to incorporate something into the ceremony that won't bring down the mood but is still fitting.
We are not doing the unity candle - we're using the sands instead. I was thinking of taking flowers out of my bouquet and putting them in a vase for his parents and both of our grandparents (8 total).
Not DaughterRhonda, but I watched Whose Wedding Is It Anyway last night, and the groom wanted to do something to acknowledge his deceased mother, so he had a seat reserved up front & walked over & put a red rose in it after parents/grandparents had been seated.
Wedding I was at two weeks ago, brides mother deceased & both her & grooms grandparents deceased, they had poem read & had people com down aisle with candle while reading of the poem & had the candles lit in deceased family members honor.
Just an idea...
"To Flow As One Is Love's Reward"
I was watching one of those wedding shows on the Style Network and this guy left a single red rose in each of the seats where his parents would have been seated. It was a beautiful gesture. You could also get your fiance a personalized handkerchief for the wedding day, and you could have "In Loving Memory of (his parents' names?) embroidered on it.

That is a beautiful candle. I was thinking of doing white roses for each of the deceased people in my and FH families. Candles would probably get expensive because we would need so many. Half of my mom's family died one after another when I was younger, so I want to honor them and some relatives on my dad's side, and FH wants to do his family as well.
One thought we have so far is to have a representative from each family come down the aisle and place white roses in a vase on each side by the front pew. This will happen while the soloist is singing The Lord's Prayer (Give Us This Day).
