deceased grandfathers wedding band /note for program
My daughter was very close to her grandfather, whom is now deceased. She will be having his wedding band incorporated into her bouquet, She wants to let everyone know how special her "Pop-Pop" was to her and how his physical presence will be sadly missed on her special day, so she feels his spiritual presence will be close by, having his wedding band close to her all day. Not to mention what a wonderful marriage he and her grandmother had shared for 56 years. Can you please help us with some ideas on how to word this information into her Wedding programs. We just can't seem to put all the proper words together. Thank you so much and we will be anxiously waiting to hear your ideas. Thank you so much in advance for whatever help you can give us.

Dear Pattid,
The program shouldn't concentrate too much on this. But, you could include an 'in memoriam' and inform the guests about the ring. Perhaps this could appear as: In memoriam: Grandfather's name. He and his wife, name, shared 56 years in marriage. Bride will be carrying his wedding band with her during the wedding ceremony. Of course, this language could be in your daughter's own words.

You could include a paragraph in the program that read something to the effect of (using subbed-in name for bride of course):
In memory of her late grandfather, John Q. Smith, Jane has incorporated his wedding band into her bouquet, and will carry this symbol of her beloved "Pop-Pop", whose own happy marriage lasted 50 years, close to her throughout her wedding day.
I'd clean up the language, grammar, and use your own style, but a paragraph like this in the listing of the families or on the back of the program is perfectly acceptable. Shayna Walker, Williamsburg Wedding Design http://www.williamsburgweddingdesign.com

Shayna,
Just wanted to say "You are Awesome". It's perfect! We knew what we wanted to say, but were stumped on how exactly to say it. My daughter was so...so..close to her grandfather and misses him dearly that she wanted everyone to know that his spirit will be close to her all day. Thanks so...so...much for your help. It is so greatly appreciated !!! You are the BEST !!
