How to Honor Deceased Grandparents in Wedding Programs
Grandparents aren't always still around for special events in their grandchild's life, but this doesn't reduce the impact they had or mean you can't honor them. Honor your grandparents by taking time in your program and/or wedding ceremony and recognizing the role they played in your life. Years after the wedding, when you're looking through the program, you'll smile and remember that, even though they weren't at your wedding, you celebrated their place in your life in a special way.
