Wine Unity Ceremony
FutureMrsHaven, on August 2, 2018 at 10:56 AM

We met with our officiant yesterday and we decided to have a wine pouring unity ceremony. I’m super excited about it! Is anyone else doing a unity ceremony of some sort? I’d love to hear your plans!

What happens if you *dont* do an unplugged ceremony sign?
Ingrid, on August 2, 2018 at 4:32 PM

No offense to anyone who has these signs, but I just can’t find any way to incorporate “unplugged” without feeling tacky. If I don’t say it’s unplugged, are people really going to get out in the...

Really short couple, really tall officiant
danilaughs, on July 28, 2018 at 5:53 PM

So our officiant is a foot taller than FH and a foot and a half taller than me. Would it be weird to have him sit on a stool during the ceremony so his head isn't cut out of all the photos?
