Tree Planting Ceremony?

I've been to one wedding where they did something like this. They used soil from both of their childhood homes to plant the tree. My only concern would be where the tree is actually going to stay permanently. Is the house that you're in now your forever home?

I think it’s a cute idea but the only wedding I’ve seen it at they actually forgot to do it

My FH and I own our home and plan on staying there awhile. We are having the ceremony and the reception at my mom's forever home. She has a massive lot of land where she does greenhouse farming (like I said, my whole family comes from gardeners :p) so the plant that we plant together could stay in a nice pot or her land or ours. I'm just wondering logistically, is it odd to bring out a bag of dirt at a ceremony, even if it is from 2 different places?

The one that I saw, they kept the dirt in jars with lids. I didn't think it was odd at all!

I've been to a wedding where the bride and groom had a small tree (still in a decorative planter) on a table behind them and watered it as a part of the ceremony. Then they took it home and planted it together.

My brother-in-law wanted to do this, but they didn't know where to have the tree planted after the ceremony. Instead they had dirt from the state the bride was born and dirt from where the groom was born and they poured it into a jar then that dirt was going to be used to plate a tree in a park near where they live and their honor. This was all explained by their officiant.
