Gin Box Wedding Ceremony Tradition

Matthew and Scott had heard of couples doing wine-box ceremonies, where the couple write letters to each other and place them in a special box to be opened during a big anniversary. "Well, we’re more gin drinkers, so we sort of invented our own gin-box ceremony," Matthew says. "As guests filed into their seats, they noticed that front and center in the ceremony space there was a table holding a bottle of Tanqueray. I’m sure they were thinking, 'What in the world?' "
