I work with couples from all over the world. In many instances, loved ones aren't able to attend the special day. When there are important people absent from the ceremony, I like to encourage them to invite "missing" guests to write a short note of greetings and good wishes. These letter of love can be read verbatim or woven throughout the ceremony.
A couple of months ago, I married a delightful couple--an American born bride and her dashing Irish husband. A number of people from Belfast, Northern Ireland, his home, could not join the celebration. So, I was able to read sweet notes of encouragement and joy from the groom's father, brother, and a number of close friends. The couple, and all those attending the wedding, felt enveloped in the blessings sent from across the Atlantic.
