| Sand Ceremony |
| This ceremony is about the blending of your lives and future as well as your past and present. It sometimes take the place of a Unity candle ceremony. Filled with symbolism and significance three vases are placed on a table where the ceremony is held. Each of you select a color of sand that represents you and your separate lives. If your wedding ceremony is being performed on a beach, have the minister bottle to symbolize the building of the foundation of the relationship and to give you a memento directly from the beach. |
As the minister reads a reading, the bride and groom pour the two containers of sand into the third container
simultaneously. You may wish to leave a small amount of sand in each vial to symbolize that although you are now
joined as one, you are still free to express your own individuality.
If you are including children in the ceremony, obtain several extra vials with different colored sand for each child.
This is called a Blended Family Ceremony
The combined sand makes a wonderful wedding keepsake for the bride and groom and a constant reminder of
their promises on their wedding day.
