My parents are deceased and the grandparents of my fiance are deceased. I thought i had a great idea to memorialize them and include them in our happy day. MY idea was to place a nice formal picture of my parents and his grandparents with either a vase of flowers or a candle on a table at the reception next to the table that will hold the place cards. I am now reading that the receiption site is not the place to memorialize deceased loves ones. My ceremony is outside. Should i place a small table near the arbor and can i put the pictures there, or is that not really a good idea either. I am very concerned about a candle staying lit outside. I have searched this site and have seen ways to memorialize them, but i really liked the picture idea. If you tell me no pictures, then i will heed your advice and just to a memorial candle or two, but who lights the candle(s) and when. Thanks.

You should set a table up next to the arbor for your ceremony. As for keeping the candle lit, simply place a hurricane globe over the pillar. This helps to block the wind from blowing it out. Photos are lovely ways of memorializing our loved ones too.
