A lover’s time capsule: add a wine box ceremony to your wedding (with script)

A wine box (also know as a unity box, and different from boxed wine) at a wedding ceremony is a unique way for couples to mark the occasion – they often hold letters the couple wrote to each other, a bottle of wine, and two glasses, meant to be opened on a special anniversary. Typically, the ritual occurs after the vows are spoken, with the box in view nearby. Personalize this ceremony script to fit your own intentions, or use it as is!

Check out the rest of the wedding and keep an eye out for various fauna that might be on the loose.
