My husband and I are looking to honor loved ones who passed before being able to attend our wedding, most notably his step-father and younger sister who died of COVID in 2020. His step-father was an incredibly important person in his life and we really want a special way to honor them.
We know the tables with photos and little keepsakes are common, but for my husband and I that just doesn't seem enough for his step dad and sister. We've decided to try and incorporate a song, but we don't really know how to do it without it seeming too funeral.
I've thought of making an announcement during reception and have everyone dance to the song, thought about having the song be the mother-son dance (that seems to only honor his step-dad though), or a moment of silence where the song is played. All seem a little awkward to us though.
Any ideas of how to incorporate this?
