Love Letter & Wine Box Ceremony
Here's an
idea that will certainly grab the attention of the guests, add some pizzazz to
your ceremony and incorporate a new twist into your celebration.
Here is what you will
need:
A wooden
wine box
A bottle of
your favorite wine
Two love
letters sealed in separate envelopes
(Optional)
Burn a CD with your favorite music
(Optional)
Add your engagement or other photo
Wine Box
Options:
A Custom
Made Wine Box with two keys.
Personalized
Wine Boxes.
A few weeks
before the wedding, take some time to each write a letter to one another,
expressing your thoughts about the good qualities that you found in your future
partner, the reasons for falling in love with them and your hopes and dreams
for the future. In other words, you write a "love letter" to each
other and place it in a sealed envelope, with the name of your partner on the
outside. Do not read what the other has written.
Be creative
with the box by putting foam inside to support the wine bottle. Line the inside
with satin material. You can also include CDs of your favorite music, favorite
pictures of you together, and other mementos making it your own romantic time
capsule. Keep the box in a place of honor as a constant visual reminder of your
love and commitment to each other. The box can be a life preserver in years to
come.
The Wine Box
should be opened on your 5th wedding anniversary.
There is
only one other reason the box should be opened before your anniversary. If
there should come a time when you hit a bumpy road in your relationship, before
you give up or make any irrational decisions, open the Wine Box. The hope is
that there will never be a reason to have to open the box except on your
anniversary!
Hit a rough
spot in your relationship? Sit down together, open the box, uncork the wine and
unseal the envelopes that you wrote for one another before your wedding, go to
separate rooms and quietly read the love letter.
Even if you
are not seeing eye-to-eye at that very moment, it will remind you of all the
reasons you choose this person as your partner and all the things that helped
shape the life they've created together. Never take your blessings of being
together for granted.
The romantic
sentiments you wrote, the declaration of love, the clear thoughts about why you
chose this person as your life partner will help put you back on even ground.
This is the perfect ritual to remind you of your wedding day and your intention
to love and cherish each other in good times and bad for as long as you both
shall live.
