It’s Father’s Day next Sunday and if you happen to be getting married that day, you might want to do a little tribute honoring your father and prospective father-in-law.

Here are some ways to honoring your father at your wedding:
- If you and your spouse-to-be know your Fathers well, you can read a passage from his favorite book or a piece from his favorite author.
- If your Father has passed away but you’re still keen to honor him at your wedding, you can light a candle during the ceremony while someone reads a poem dedicated to him.
- If you know how to sing, you or your spouse-to-be can also sing a song for your fathers or if you have no singing talent, you can ask your wedding singer sing a song dedicated to the special Dads in your life.
- You can prepare a photo slideshow of your Dads and show them during the wedding reception
- There are great websites to select poems from:
