Wine Ceremony
The wine sharing ceremony is a delightful ceremony embracing traditions that began well before the medieval period. Then, a bride and groom would celebrate their pledge to each other by drinking wine from a single cup — one blood, one family and one kin.
During the wedding processional loved ones can each carry a carafe of wine — one red, one white and place both on the signing table. Or, the parents of the couple can bring forward a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine and then fill each of the carafes.
Two become one
Two different lives coming together to make one life — when red wine and white wine are poured into one carafe, they become one — the wine becomes a Rosé.
I can show you how to include an alternative ritual using coloured water — children love this ceremony and it is a most suitable ritual to involve young family members.
I can help you add the finishing touches with some brilliant, original ideas —
just ask!
Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I’ll not ask for wine.
