 taste of married life

I often think of objects, food and drink to create metaphors for marriage.  This one may be my favorite.  
Picture
The couple stands in front of a long, beautiful, wooden table.  The officiant is on the other side of this table. The table is beautifully set with small china plates lined up in a row and at the ends of the row are crystal glasses of wine or drink.  On these small elegant china plates will be small servings of food artistically placed.  Each food will be a representation of married life.  The officiant will described each plate and how it represent married life.  The couple one by one will then take a taste.  

On the first plate will be something sweet such as sugary dough balls, this will represent happy days and laughter.  On the next plate will be something salty(pita chips) to represent the tears of shared sorrows.  The next plate will hold the passion fruit to represent a physical love while the next may have a bitter piece of dark chocolate for when you disagree.  The last plate will hold bread which represents family, unity and home and lastly the drink will be the toast for a good health, good life and a good marriage.
