Can't have everyone you want in your wedding party? Don't give those special people boring tasks! Give them a meaningful role in your ceremony. How? With a creative wedding ritual.
Here are 3 of my "gift-giving" rituals. One involves bamboo and is based on the couple's love of Giant Pandas. One uses lifelike, laser-cut moths. One was inspired by the groom's profession as a pastry chef. That ritual is based on the mythological properties of flours.
See episodes 5, 6, and 10 for other gift-giving wedding rituals.
Not planning a wedding? These rituals can easily be adapted for birthdays, retirement parties, and other occasions.
