    How to Pay Tribute to Passed Loved Ones at Your Wedding

    How do you honour a loved one who is no longer with us on your wedding day? How do you pay tribute to them, without it being a major downer? How do you adjust your wedding plans if someone pivotal won't be there?
    Listen in as I give suggestions for creative and personal ways to pay tribute to your deceased loved ones and offer alternatives to wedding traditions where a loved one usually has a major role. I'm also reminding you that it's okay to feel your feels about this shitty situation and skip any traditions that make you uncomfortable.
