Q. We are paying tribute to our Loved Ones who have gone on by
lighting candles and having a memorial reading (short and sweet).
In the program, however, where the wedding party is listed, I feel
a little strange listing "Parents of the Bride" but not "Parents
of the Groom" because they're both deceased.
Is is totally distasteful to include Parents/Grandparent who are
deceased in the Wedding Party and list their names with
"(deceased)" next to it...or does that seem to dampen the occasion
too much?
A.
At the beginning of the program,
you can list the groom's parents as "the late John & Mary
Doe." You do not list grandparents by name in the program.
Because you are adding a memorial ceremony to the wedding
ceremony, you will need to include the names and relationship
of those being remembered after the heading "memorial
ceremony" or "remembrance ceremony." That way, your guests
will understand the significance of what you are doing.
