  Ceremony Ideas

  Consider personalizing your ceremony with a "fight box" or "wine box." How it works: During the ceremony, fill a wooden box with a bottle of wine, two glasses, and handwritten letters expressing why you fell in love with one another. Then, you both hammer it shut with nails, and promise not to open it until your first major argument or a milestone anniversary (whichever comes first).

  Reception Ideas

  Entertaining games are a mainstay of laidback country nuptials, and one of our favorites is "The Shoe Game." During the reception, remove both of your shoes, then trade a shoe with your new spouse so that you’re holding one of each. Then, have a designated person ask a series of questions about the two of you and your relationship (i.e.. “Who will be doing most of the cooking?” "Who said 'I love you' first?"). After each question, hold up the shoe of the person you think is the best answer to the question.
