- If a wedding couple has lost a loved one to death recently, or an important friend or family member is absent on the wedding day because of illness, they face a choice as they plan their wedding ceremony.
This is a circumstance that usually - but not always - warrants some kind of mention during the wedding ceremony itself. It’s a delicate issue, and a lot of wedding officiants and celebrants aren’t sure how to tread these waters. As wedding officiants, we must guide our couples through their options.
Here’s exactly how you can guide your couple into deciding whether mentioning the loss is right for them. And if they'd like to, this is how to tastefully commemorate the loss and remember a loved one during the wedding ceremony.

Mark! This and YOU, are brilliant! As we all acknowledge, the absence of a special loved one (for myriad of reasons) is critical and so relevant to the ceremony. Thank you for teaching us how to best present it -- and successfully, move on. Not to dwell on the sadness, just quietly celebrate and move to the JOY of the moment! You are such a genius when it comes to UNBORING weddings!
Aw thanks for the kind comment! Glad it helps!
Thanks so much, Mark, for this review of Remembrance section of our Unboring!Wedding Course. The hardest one for me was a week before the wedding the bride lost her late-term pregnancy baby and wanted me to incorporate the remembrance into the ceremony so that everyone would know at the start. This is what I wrote with approval of the parents. The hardest thing I ever had to say at a wedding ceremony.
"And before we continue, M and A wanted me to share these very special words with you, in remembrance and in celebration of their Baby Girl, K.A.M., who isn’t here with us today.
An angel in heaven wrote down K.A.’s birth in the Book of Life.
Then whispered, as she closed the book, “Too beautiful for Earth.”
We asked God for a baby and, instead, he gave us an Angel.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart.
Love you forever, Baby Girl.
Love, Mom and Dad.
Wow that's a lot. Good on you for getting through it! You're a true pro.
Love this stuff! I have done several of these rememberences in ceremonies using this format. The couple is always appreciative and it goes smoothly and is not something we linger over too long to bring the mood down. Cannot wait to see you face-to-face in November!
Amazing! This is the way, yes! And ya - gonna be great to finally meet at WeddingMBA!
I have kept it right where you placed it on the script.
You got it! 👊
