After mucho debating between my mom, my fiance, my maid of honor, and myself, I seem to have finally made an agreed-upon wedding program design. The cover is shown above! Since gebera daisies are kind of the theme, it's incorporated into the program.
With the program, the service also had to decided on. So we decided on this!

Of course, then the bridal party is listed, music shown, etc. The hardest part, though, was coming up with appropriate wording for this:
The memory candle on the altar honors Paul Heinzel, father of the bride, who is in our hearts always and celebrating with us today in spirit.
Ei yi yi, it was depressing to do so, but at least the phrase isn't too entirely depressing for the family to read that day...??? Whacha gonna do.
