Simple Ceremony Tradition

Mary's aunt started a family tradition of buying an area rug for nieces and nephews when they get married. The couple exchange vows while standing on the rug, then take it home to serve as a reminder of the commitment they made to each other on their wedding day. “Ethan and I love this tradition and the idea of something so special living in our home,” Mary says.
