This is a really meaningful inclusion in any ceremony and it comes from Carol J. Merletti (USA).
You will need a wooden box or container that will hold a bottle of wine and two glasses. Before the ceremony you write each other a love letter, expressing your thoughts about the good qualities that you found in your future partner and the reasons for falling in love. Under no condition can you read each other's letter. During the ceremony the letters are sealed and placed in the box with the wine and glasses.
The idea is that, should you ever find your marriage in difficulty, you open the box, drink the wine together and then go to separate rooms and read the letter that you wrote to one another to reflect upon why you fell in love in the first place.
The hope is that you'll never have a reason to open the box and, if this is the case, you can open the box on your 10th anniversary.
