  Here's one that I like.

  Equipment:
  2 candles
  red wine
  ground cinnamon
  2 shallow bowls/cups

  Ritual:
  light the candles. pour some wine in the bowls. each person
  start warming their bowl of wine over a candle. add a pinch
  of cinnamon. swirl the bowls to mix cinnamon while finishing
  the warming. each person breathe into both bowls.
  toast-"May the union of man and woman bring pleasure and
         happiness to both."
  touch bowls. drink. do what comes naturally. :)

  If you don't actually use this ritual, I hope that you at least got
some ideas from reading it. This is one of the first rituals that I
ever wrote, and it's always felt very comfortable to me.
