Anyone planning to do/done an arras ceremony in their wedding?

It def has different connotations with all cultures.. but even if stereotypically religious; the idea of the groom sharing his riches both emotionally and materialistically ..has a meaning...well that is shown with gesture. In many cultures, sharing what abundance be it financially or even spiritually is def essential. The coins represent the idea that my fiance is sharing all that he has to offer symbolically in the coins themselves to me, be it the now, the past and whats to come.. he is def not religious.. I am on the other hand lol... but all the same... the simple and humble idea of sharing the coins represent the trust and faith you have in the other party to hold in their hand your future as well as theirs..forever..as one... : )
