Ours is easy too. Each of the bride's sorority sisters circles around her at the reception. Each of us is holding one long-stemmed red or yellow rose. We all sing one of our songs, usually "Our Time is Short," although it doesn't have to be ~ sing the song that is most special to the bride or your chapter as a whole. While we are all singing, each sister steps up and gives the bride her rose and congratulates her. By the end of the song (however many verses it takes to finish) the bride has a bouquet of beautiful red & buff roses. It is my favorite ritual ever.
