Sand ceremony, unity candle, wine box, and so on. These are all beautiful rituals that seem to be utilized the most at weddings. They all mean something different to the couple who chooses to utilize them during their wedding ceremony.
When it came down to deciding what we wanted to include in our ceremony, we decided that no ritual was the best ritual for us. Nothing felt right to us, and so we decided we would like to keep it short, sweet, and very traditional.
Honestly though, I feel that one of the most important rituals during a ceremony often gets overlooked as such. What is it that I am talking about? Why the exchanging of the rings, of course.
Maybe because it is an age old ritual. Why wouldn't someone include that in their ceremony? Which might be the reason as to why we try to find secondary rituals to be included as well. We all want to have something personalized just to us.
We are thinking that because we aren't having a secondary ritual, we might add some extra oomph to the exchanging of the rings. I would like to add to it something out of the ordinary. So that everyday when we look down at our rings, we are reminded of just what was said during that special moment.
Our ceremony will be very traditional, with all the usual aspects. What will make it unlike others and personalized to us? Simply that it will be us reciting the vows and exchanging the rings. I think that is unique enough on its own. (Unique, New York. Anyone? I can't help myself.)
Will you be including any type of ritual during your ceremony? Or is no ritual the right ritual for you?
