Expressions of Love.
Have you ever been at a wedding where the officiant invited all the married people to reaffirm their love during the couple's ceremony? It's a well-intentioned concept, but it can make many of the guests feel uncomfortable and left out -- gay, single, children, widowed, grandma... Affirming love is not the exclusive domain of married people.
A more inclusive variation on the theme would be to invite everyone to "close your eyes and take a moment in silence to consider a way in which you can commit, or re-commit, to expressing love in your life."
Be sure to face your guests when the officiant asks them to do this; you'll want to see them beam! And the subject makes a great ice breaker at party time.
