This is a fun Unity Ceremony that often results in an impromptu tug of war. The theme is that, like a fisherman’s knot, marriage strengthens and supports the couple through life and, like this particular knot, their marriage only grows stronger under pressure. During this ceremony, the couple attaches large cords together with special knots that will slide together when each rope is pulled, resulting in the Fisherman’s Knot. “Tying the Knot” is a primary wedding ceremony whereby a couple ties a fisherman’s knot as a symbol of their unity as a married couple. Any box or container that can be secured with nails or secured with locks can be used, opening up the possibility of using something special to you. The main difference is that only the letters are sealed in the box and no wine is included. Much like in the “Anniversary Wine Box” ceremony, letters, encapsulating your thoughts and feelings on your wedding day are closed away in a box to be revealed on your first anniversary.
Unity Ceremonies can be included in Personalized and Custom ceremony options.
Likewise, if you both share an interest that you wish to highlight, we can create a custom Unity Ceremony around it, at no additional cost. If you would like to include a traditionally religious wedding element into your ceremony, but don’t like its religious connotations, we can write a secular version of almost any tradition, regardless of its origin. As each partner plays out their role during each Unity Ceremony, the officiant will offer the guest commentary on the significance and symbolism of the ceremony and their actions during it. Unity Ceremonies are typically placed after the Vows and Ring Exchange within the overall wedding ceremony as an extension of the vows and a visible display of the couple’s commitment to each other. There are many variations on traditional unity ceremonies that can include children and family as well. They are a great way to insert a sense of ritual into a secular wedding ceremony and most Unity Ceremonies result in a keepsake from your wedding day.
It originates from Celtic handfasting where braided cords are wrapped around the couple's hands or are covered in a large garland of flowers or fabric shawl.Unity Ceremonies are used to symbolize the joining of two people, two families, or both. Many cultures incorporate the binding of the couple together.
These can be shipped off to the manufacturer and fused into one art piece speckled with the two colors. Very similar to pouring sand together, there are options available for blending colored glass beads into one vase. A family photo can be used as well, mixing multiple colors of sand forming one bond. This works exceptionally well if either of the partners have children. Couples can purchase specially designed picture frames where the sand forms around a photograph of the couple. Pouring SandĪ ritual perfect for beach weddings is the blending of two colored sands into one vessel to be sealed after the ceremony. The same can be done with two complimentary craft beers, liquors, or tea! 3. While we're on the topic of wine, a unique ceremony idea is for the couple to pour together two of their favorite varietal wines into one decanter, forming a new blend.
