I feel as if the rings and wedding itself is unity enough. There's no need to do all of those extra things. Frankly, I dont really like most of the ideas out there (I'm not bashing on them, it's just not for us)
Is there anyone else who agrees? I've seen a lot of posts about unity alternatives, but none about actually skipping it.
Sidenote: IF we were to do a "unity ceremony" (with a big fat IF) I read that this couple had the fathers do a reading. I thought that was pretty cool. We're not religious so we could have our fathers make a speech of their own and read it during the ceremony. And would that come before our after the ring exchange?
Thoughts?
I know I sound condescending because I just said there's no post about skipping it, then offer a suggestion (haha) but I'm still keeping my options open. Again, COMPLETELY okay with skipping it as I truly feel the ring exchange and wedding is a unity in itself and is enough for us. Just wondering what you thought about the fathers doing a speech/reading.
