Unity piece

I'd toyed with a sand ceremony but it didn't quite touch me personally like I wanted. Then I saw someone on here post about a wine ceremony and oh lord that's it. FH and I are all about our wine. We actually got engaged in vineyards in Tuscany. He and I are so excited about the idea now! Here are some other options to explore: https://www.confetti.co.uk/inspiration/alternative-unity-ceremony-ideas

I've heard of:

-Unity glass- glass shards mixed together and then sent to a company to be made into a bowl/vase/ornament

-Artwork- My FH and I are making two halves of the same picture and putting them together in a frame, two colors of paint dabbed on a canvas during the ceremony (not for indoors)

-Spice blend- If you like to cook you can make a custom spice blend (doesn't have to be just salt and pepper)

-Lego- two halves of a lego statue put together

-Wine blends

-Plant potting- Dirt from 2 important places to you both gets mixed in one pot

-Coffee bean or tea blends

I love the idea of the wine ceremony! I never heard of that before.

I love this idea!

I haven't thought much about the unity piece quite yet, but i'm loving this & the wine ceremony idea.

@MrsBdeG - i'd love some info on this idea!

my FH is kind of a nerd & would love something like this.

We plan on doing the unity cross since it will be outdoor ceremony on by the beach so plenty of sand already there and candles would get blown out. It is something that can be displayed in home afterwards and not get spilled or broken. Never seen the rope ideal before but I would consider that for us as well

I did a unity candle set at my first wedding, and FH did sand at his. Our theme is Think Geek, so naturally we decided to do a Star Wars unity ceremony.

I ordered snap-together models that make noise (yep). He's building the Mellenium Falcon. I am building a Tie Fighter (no I don't know why I gotta be the dark one, except that his ring tone for me is The Imperial March). The officiant has a speech worked out about the Light and Dark side of the Marriage Force.

But I'm guessing we are probably the only yahoos in the land of the nearly married who want to do such a thing .

We are doing the wine ceremony, which works well since we are getting married at a winery.

I had never heard of it until our pastor brought it up, I was going to pass up the unity part.
