Wine ceremony (we both wrote love letters the day of the wedding, which were sealed and locked in a box with glasses and a wine bottle at our ceremony. On our five year, we will reopen the box and drink our wine while reading how we felt about one another 5 years ago. Also to be used if the couple ever contemplates ending their marriage; as a reminder of their love and to rekindle the love) Sang to my Groom Dove release His family My family (alot of my friends made it, but my family couldn't besides my dad) The bridal party (sans crabby ring bearer) extra guests To be continued...
