wine box / love letters ceremony
I have never heard of this until stumbled upon a website about it. Just wondering if anyone has done this or seen it done before? I really love the concept of it and it would be so sweet to read the love letters years later.
However, I'm not sure how I feel about doing it in a church or how Pastor Bob would feel about it, lol.
Any opinons?

Re: wine box / love letters ceremony
Is there supposed to be a link somewhere?
I think I've heard of these before tho- you write a love letter to be opened in the future, and for every letter there is a bottle of wine to go with it? Is this what you are talking baout? If so- I like the idea, but I'm not sure about how this would be portrayed in the ceremony...
I really like the idea, however, I'm not sure if I would include it in my ceremony. But that is just me.
I think this is something sweet to do between you and your DF prior to the wedding.

Oh, I guess a link could have helped!

I'm not really feeling the end where everyone in the BP takes a takes a turn at nailing the box shut, but everything else seems cute.
not that this is really like what you suggested, but we're doing a wine ceremony instead of a unity candle or sand ceremony. we didn't like the idea of a sand ceremony, and figured we would just do the unity candle until rev mark suggested the wine ceremony as an alternative. each mom will carry a bottle of wine with them in to the ceremony (one white & one red). the rev will perform the wine ceremony by mixing the two wines, and we will each take a sip from the wine glass. we felt this was more like us than anything else-i'm looking forward to it and to doing something different! the rev said that he & his wife spent tons of time mixing wines to determine which 2 mix the best-we don't need any bitter wine faces going on during the ceremony!
I do really like the whole box idea tho- and I think I'm totally going to do this! Think how cool it would be to open it in a few years (my sorority actually did something very similar to this and it was very neat)
It is a sweet idea though. If you don't end up incorporating it into your ceremony, you and your FI should still do it!
Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much!

I've heard of this- cute idea, but during the ceremony, eh. It depends on how traditional other aspects of your wedding are. But if you want to incorporate it into the ceremony, I say go for it (if your officiant is ok with it of course). I also like Jennybean's wine ceremony idea.

FI loves the idea and wants to make the wooden box for it. I think I would rather put a latch and cute little lock on it rather than nailing it shut if I'm going to display it in the house.
JBean, your version sounds great! I'm not a big fan of the sand ceremony either. FI's brother did one at his beach wedding. He was so nervous he missed the opening and everyone gasped.
