Remembering Deceased Sibling At Wedding

I am getting married in Oct and my only sibling, my brother passed away 2 years ago. I want to mention him in the ceremony or reception but am unsure how to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?
I don`t want it to be too `heavy` or anything but would really like everyone to be aware that he is missed on our special day.
Any suggestions?

Have you considered listing him in your program as an honorary `best man` or groomsmen?

We are remembering my fiance`s late mother with a poem in the program and the flowers that she had in her wedding. Also we are putting a picture of her up with a lantern (it is an outdoor ceremony). Kind of a way to show that she is still with is in memory. I hope this helps you out. Jennifer

Hello Danielle....
One way that you could honor your brother is to have his boutinere at the altar with you both. Or where he would have been sitting, have a nice single rose ribbon laying on his seat. When you do your toast, tell everyone how much you love him and miss him even though he is there watching over you. You know that he will be there every moment.
Good Luck...and God Bless
