"Wonderful Ideas for a 'Time Capsule' Ceremony at Weddings: Fun for 10 Years Ahead!"

Have you ever done a "time capsule"?
To all the brides-to-be, suddenly, have you ever done a "time capsule"? A time capsule is where you write letters and such to your future self, bury them in the ground, and open them after a number of years.*
It's an event where you can enjoy the excitement of writing letters while imagining your future self and opening the time capsule when you’ve almost forgotten about it.♡
I also did a time capsule in elementary school addressed to my 20-year-old self, but I was surprised to realize that I had even forgotten about it! (A childhood friend remembered the date we were to open the capsule and told me.♡) I remember feeling a little embarrassed but also warm and fuzzy reading the letter from my 10-year-old self.*
A time capsule at the wedding is wonderful!
I heard about a couple who included a time capsule message writing experience directed at their future selves in their wedding.♡ Don't you think a time capsule at a wedding is an exciting addition?
There are two ways to do the time capsule: one is to have guests write messages to the couple, and the other is to have guests write letters to their future selves 10 years from now.* Some brides even have their guests write two letters: one for the couple and one for themselves.♡
In either case, the time capsule is kept by the couple.* It’s common to put it in a large jar and display it in their new home.◎
The time capsule experience doesn't just provide joy on the wedding day, but also allows for enjoyment when the capsule is opened 10 or 20 years later. ♩ It would be wonderful to talk with guests about the wedding while reminiscing 10 years later.♡
There’s also a "time capsule candle" experience!*
This time capsule experience can also use "time capsule candles." A time capsule candle is where guests' messages are packed inside the candle to create a time capsule. ♩ These candles are lit every year on the wedding anniversary and can be opened on the 10th anniversary. ♡
Don’t you think it's incredibly romantic that a candle can become a time capsule? ♡ Lighting the candle each year also seems like it would create special moments. ♩
