Wedding Ceremony Remembering Loved Ones Wording 2021 Update. Weddings are joyous events, but they can also bring bittersweet thoughts of friends and relatives who have passed away. After all, we know that they would be there on the Big Day if they could, and their absence is keenly felt.

That’s why many couples choose to memorialize the dearly departed in their wedding programs. This could include a short statement in remembrance of all loved ones who have passed, a list of names, or a saying (poem, verse, etc.) that captures the feelings of the bride and groom. Or it could be a mixture of these things.

While it’s always best to speak (or write) from the heart when memorializing people, finding the right words isn’t always easy.

Your own feelings and the need to be sensitive toward others can complicate things. This guide will help you come up with appropriate wording for your situation.

 Wedding Program Memorial Tips

When seeking inspiration for their own wedding programs, most people immediately begin looking at examples. But before you get too far, it’s a good idea to consider a few general points:

For a list of names, start with “In Loving Memory Of” or a similar phrase: The simplest approach is to list the names of the people you want to memorialize in the wedding ceremony program.

In this case, all you really need is to start the section with a solemn phrase such as “In Memory Of” or “Never to be Forgotten.”

Be inclusive: While you don’t need to list every deceased relative of the bride and groom, you do want to be on guard against any conspicuous omissions.

For example, if you’re listing a deceased member of the groom’s immediate family, it would be inappropriate not to also list someone who was closely related to the bride.

If you have particularly sensitive issues to deal with in your families, you may want to opt for general wording that doesn’t list anyone by name.

Don’t do it all on the wedding program: There are many ways to pay tribute to lost loved ones at a wedding. If you have trouble accomplishing everything you want to do on the program, consider other gestures to honor the pass. A few samples include:
