     listing memorial candle in wedding program  

My son (the bride's older brother) passed away 3 years ago. We are going to have a lighted candle on the altar in memory of him. Is it ok to list this in the wedding program? If so, how could it be worded? Thanks so much!

Rather than list this in the actual wedding program, place a memorial statement on the back page. In this location explain to the guests that in honor of him, a lighted candle has been placed on the altar.

It is perfectly alright.

The words can read something to the following effect:

A memorial candle has been placed upon the altar in loving memory of ______. He forever remains in the hearts of those who love him.

This must be very difficult for you, Mom.
