What is everyone doing for their unity ceremonies? FH and I were looking through ceremony samples last night and we found one that we really liked that had a letter box for the unity ceremony. We have a wooden box, hammer, and nails. Before the ceremony, we will write letters to each other. Our MOH will hold the letters and when it is time for the unity part, she will gives us the letters. We will place them in a box with two wine glasses and a bottle of wine and nail it shut. We will then open the box, read the letters, and drink the wine together on our first anniversary.

    We did a unity glass ceremony. The holders are from Michaels and the final product is TBD at this point.

    I think we are doing the cord of three strands! I've found some really cute ideas on Pinterest.

    @Celia, we have an officiant, we haven't gone over the ceremony with her yet, she said we will meet in a few months as the date gets closer. She will do a completely customized ceremony for us, and she says she has a list of things to consider for the ceremony. We are probably just getting ahead of ourselves with looking online for ideas. It was FH's idea to take a look and since he's been so stubborn and not very involved with things, I jumped at the opportunity to look with him. FH wants it as simple as possible, like I said he is not comfortable with speaking or being in front of our audience for a long period of time. I want to do personalized vows so I'm going to try to win him over on that. You are right and I can obviously see that this needs some tweaking. The moment of remembrance, is that for relatives that have passed away?

    We're doing a glow ceremony - instead of mixing wine or sand, we're mixing together the two compounds that are used in glow sticks.

    I would never include anything called a 'break up box" in a wedding

    Yes, the moment of remembrance is for people who have passed; I usually don't mention specific people at that point

    Celia thats fine.... the concept is the same as what was stated above... it supposed to remind a couple why they got together and why they love each other anytime when you think they want to leave their marriage. The first 5 years are rough on every couple from what ive seen and heard. Its great to have a reminder....
