An unusual idea for a couple who want something very different for their wedding ceremony is this... Get a wooden box, a bottle of wine (or the alcohol of your choice), and two glasses. Write love notes to each other, explaining your feelings as you prepare to start your new life together as husband and wife. Seal your letter without letting your partner read what you’ve written. During the ceremony, place the love notes inside the wooden box with the wine and glasses. Take turns hammering the box shut.Agree to keep the box sealed until a special anniversary, like your 10th or 20th, unless you hit a rough patch. Then, break open the box, pour the wine, read the letters, and remember what it’s all about.

I am excited to be helping a couple plan an intimate wedding with only two witnesses - rather like an elopement! It's a chance for me to think outside the square - for the ceremony and for the location. Because it will be such a small gathering I feel the ceremony needs to be really special, so a chance to pull out all the bells and whistles. |
