For your wedding ceremony, you will need

• a wooden box from i-do-store.com
• two love letters sealed in separate envelopes
• a bottle of your favorite wine or other beverage (optional)
• any special treasures from your relationship like a souvenir from your first date, favorite photos etc…

A few weeks before the wedding, the bride and groom write a love letter and place it in a sealed envelope. As the mothers are escorted to their seats to signify the beginning of the wedding ceremony, they place the letters into the unity box. The wedding officiant explains that the letters have not been read by anyone, and that the goal is for the couple to read them on their 5th wedding anniversary. However, in case of a marriage emergency when it seems easier to give up than work things out - the couple should open the box together, uncork the wine and unseal the letters. Even if there are troubles that need to be worked through, the letters will remind them of the love that brought them together in the first place.
