KARMA, a single-serve sparkling wine, was created by San Diego native Patrick Wilson who, in his own words, “believes every day is a celebration.”

Each bottle contains a glass and a half serving (160 calories), has a twist off cap and can be enjoyed directly from the bottle. Some have suggested that fresh fruit or juice can be added to the bottle for a slight variation. This is a cute option for wedding favors, toasts or simply to enjoy at home. Each bottle is $6.99 or $28 for a pack of four. Purchase at Karmachampagne.com

Marking Togetherness beyond the Unity Candle

The Wine ceremony is hip and contemporary, yet gives any ceremony an old world, traditional feel. Like the Sand ceremony, Breaking of the Glass, Rose and Unity Candle ceremonies, the Wine ceremony symbolizes the blending of your two lives into one. Many couples enjoy the unique nature of the Wine ceremony... especially the wine!

The Rose is the symbol of love, and the blending of the red and white wine creates a light pink Rose Wine, celebrating the love of the new couple.

Before the wedding begins, red wine and white wine, each in a small carafe, are placed next to a larger empty carafe with one or two wineglasses on a small table near the couple. The center carafe, called the "Marriage Carafe" is usually a bit larger than the two outside "individual" carafes.

The Wine ceremony usually takes place after the ring exchange. Music during the wine ceremony can add a nice touch, but is always optional.

The Officiant may announce that immediately after the service others may drink the new wine of their commitment to one life if they so desire, or Rose Wine may be served at the reception to mark this ceremony.
