Heartfelt Ways to Honor Lost Loved Ones At Your Wedding

Your wedding day is to be celebrated with loved ones and whether you've recently lost someone or want to honor a great-grandparent who passed many years ago, there are still ways to include them into your special day. How you choose to honor them will be up to you as there is no one way fits all. While thinking of how to do so, bear in mind these three questions: 1). How fresh is the wound? 2). How much attention do you want to draw to this tribute? and 3). What's the most appropriate way for that person?
