Remembrances
The day is made up with a lifetime's promises. There may be those who because they have predeceased you, or for other reasons cannot be in attendance at your wedding. You may want to honor their memories during your ceremony. This moment tends to bring out sad emotions. For this reason, when remembrances are included, they are spoken early in the ceremony to give you and your guests time to recover and return to rejoicing about your wedding.
