My Happily Ever After

Prior to the wedding, gather a strong wooden wine box, a bottle of wine, and two glasses. Also before the ceremony, you both separately write love notes to each other, explaining your feelings on the eve of your wedding day. Each letter then gets sealed in its own envelope. They are NOT read. At some point during the ceremony, your officiant explains the process, and the two of you seal the box by taking turns hammering one nail at a time until the box is closed. You don’t open the box until whichever anniversary you choose. When you open the box, you both read the letters and drink the wine remembering how you felt days before your wedding.
