At our "renewal" ceremony DH wants to plant an apple tree instead of doing the unity candle or sand. We are going to have a tree in a pot and have our parents bring soil from their yards and pour it in the pot to symbolize 2 families becoming one. He wants to do an apple tree because I bake apple pies. He says he wants to have a tree in our yard where we can get apples and bakes pies for our children and then our grandchildren. His sentiment was so sweet that we have to do this now.
We need to pick a song for this. We are doing the Forrest Gump Suite(feather song) as the processional and the Proclaimers 500 milespiano version for the recessional. I wanting something whimsical that perhaps matched. Any ideas about a song with a mention of a tree or something that would work in general. We are doing whimsical music as our preceremony music while the guests are sitting.
Also does anyone know how big an apple tree is when you buy it? I need to look into this to see if it will work.
