What we do which you might have eluded to is to have the customer as the final sign off for each story during the iteration. Once our QA individual verifies that all acceptance criteria for a story are complete - we put the story before the customer who verifies it as well (based on acceptance criteria which he/she specified). Only then is the story considered "DONE" and the points to be counted towards the velocity of that iteration.
I think the demonstration of the stories completed would be enlightening and motivating for the other stakeholders who attend our iteration planning meetings at the beginning of the next iteration.
