Allison and Stewart, both architects, came up with one of the sweetest vow ideas I've ever heard:
"We asked a friend to be our officiant," Allison says. "He really took the time to craft a ceremony that was personal and meaningful. He surprised us by coming up with an interesting ritual that involved a beautiful small wooden house that was hollowed out inside. After exchanging our vows, we put them inside the house and sealed it (wood glue, clamps, and all). The house that we built during the ceremony is now in our house, with our vows forever sealed inside."
Part 2 of 4, stay tuned!
