We recently met with our marriage officiant, she was so lovely and made us both feel really comfortable. Aside from being a marriage commissioner she is also a yoga teacher; she has a breathing technique that she will teach us that a day or two before that will help us make it through without crying (as much). That doesn't add anything to the story, I am just so excited to have found her.
During our meeting is that she suggested creating a 'time capsule' during the wedding ceremony. I'm putting in in quotations because it sounds like an elementary school project; if we do it, we will come up with a different name. This is a container that we will each write a letter to each other about how we feel going into this ceremony, and a set an anniversary when we open it and read the letters (1 yr, 5 yrs, etc). She also recommended including a bottle of reception wine in it.
Long winded way of getting to my question...has anyone done something like this before? How did it work?
