This has to be the most special terrarium project that I've shown thus far. I've made a lot of terrariums in my time and have shown countless designs on this channel. However, I can't say that I've done one like this before. I also can't say that there will be another one like it. Not from us at least.

When we were coming up with ideas for our unity ceremony, a few ideas were thrown around. There were the standard candle and thread ceremonies, among others. However, we later came up with the idea to make a unity terrarium. It almost didn't happen, but we knew it would be something really unique and special. Not only that, but it perfectly represents the concept of unity in a relationship and it's something that we can have as a keepsake. Perhaps someday we may even pass the it onto our children.

Ironically, one of the first bonding activities that Alyssa and I did some time ago was make a terrarium. In fact it's the oldest one in my collection and we still have it to this day. There's always been something special about it because we made together. Making a unity terrarium really brought things full circle as well and took us back to an earlier time. It also brought us together and was the perfect precursor to our wedding day.

Although they're just a jar with plants and such in them, they really are so much more than that. They can bring people together, they can be a fun hobby, something that reconnects you with nature or even a symbol of love. The list goes on, but in my opinion terrariums transcend art and I think the world would be a better place if everyone would terrarium!

I don't share this kind of thing with you lightly, but I am really invested in this platform. YouTube is a huge part of my life as was this moment. You all have done so much for us by continually supporting the channel. As such, I knew we couldn't get married without sharing it with you! I knew that so many of you would appreciate being a part of this moment and perhaps get an idea for you own unity ceremony ;)

A HUGE thanks Aaron + Craig (video) and Anne (thumbnail pic) of Loyalty Entertainment for capturing our special day and this moment! www.loyaltyentertains.com

Another thanks to Rev. Mark for making the ceremony so special! He really did a great job keeping everyone engaged and loved the unity terrarium. https://www.asimplevow.org/
