Corey & I are supposed to meet with our officiant next week. I'm sure he's going to ask how we want our ceremony to flow. Wellllll....this isn't something I've thought about. The only thing I've considered is that I want the ceremony to be short & sweet so I can smooch my man & get onto the party!!
I'm really unsure if we should write our own vows or not. I think it would be so sweet to hear Corey say what he really feels, but I don't want to put pressure on him in front of a lot of people. He carries himself as if he has no emotions, but you should be a fly on the wall at home. =)
Also, I'd be a big bawl bag reading what vows I'd write. Now that I think of it...I've never been to a wedding where they write their own vows.
We've also been throwing around ideas about unity candles and crap...
I think it's all cliche and useless because things like that typically get thrown away or lost in a move.
But I came across the idea of a wine and love letter box. You're supposed to place a bottle of your favorite wine (or hard alcohol =)) and sealed, unread love letters into a wooden box. The box is then sealed by the couple and not opened until the 5th wedding anniversary. It can also be opened if there's ever a rough time in the marriage to remind the couple of how much they loved each other the first day they were married.
Love it!
