One of the easiest is to fold the cords in half, wrap around the couple's wrists, put the two ends together through the loop of the fold, and pull taut to comfort level for the duration of the ceremony. At no time should you tie two people together in such a way that they cannot get apart in an emergency, so no complicated knots that take forever to get apart. In addition, large round cord is a better idea than thin, flat ribbon for safety reasons.
