Hi! I was wondering if there is a proper way to say something special in ceremony program about my deceased mother? I would like to say more than just in memory of..... but I am not sure how to word it. I was thinking about mentioning something about her being a single mom, as most people will be wondering why am walking down the isle alone but I don't want it to be tacky, just a heartfelt message to my mom. Any Ideas? Thanks
It really isn't a time to give a speech, because the focus should be on the future and joy. The reception would be a perfect place, during the toasts, to pay tribute to your mother. During the wedding, you could light a candle or the officiant could include something about your mother in your vows. This person may have ideas concerning this.
Many brides walk alone or walk with someone other than a father, because we are not 'given' away. We are merely escorted. But, many women now feel as if we don't even need to be escorted. We can walk fine all by ourselves.
