what to put in the time capsue?
So FI and i decided to do something like a wine box but neither of us like wine and i hardly like to drink at all, plus I wanted to include our kids in the ceremony/unity thing so we decided to do a time capsule. I need a little help as to what type of items to put in it though. So far i have
-Itty bit birth card from the nicu (she was born in Aug and it has her feet prints, weight, time of birth ect)
-our promise rings
-our wedding invitation
-letters to each other
From there I'm not sure what else to put in the box. My son needs to put something in. Maybe something from the venue were getting married/staying at?

Re: what to put in the time capsue?
Your wedding is itself a "unity ceremony," without any additional rituals, and you can include your children in the roles of ring bearer/flower girl or bridesmaid/men and groomsmen/maids if they are old enough.
for me this is an important piece of our ceremony.
Also, there are those who may feel that they've been invited only to a wedding ceremony, and a "unity" thing to "include" children from prior relationships is something of a bait-and-switch. These are not necessarily my own feelings, but I think that the wedding ceremony is enough. The children can participate in the traditional roles of flower girl, ring bearer, bridesmaid/man, or groomsman/maid and be in photos. They don't need to say anything or have anything said to them, or be given gifts, for them to be "included," nor would it be appropriate. They are not entering into the relationship by choice and would not be ending it by choice if there is a divorce later.
