The Sand Ceremony is optional and offered free of charge.  It is our beach version of the unity candle. Each of you is given your own color of sand to pour into a heart shaped glass. As the sand is blended it represents the blending of two hearts into one. The heart glass is yours to keep. This is very popular now, especially with our beach weddings.

We have several different colors of sand for you to choose from.  See below for color choices. You can add white sand to represent God as the foundation of your marriage or a color to represent the child(ren) blending into this new family or have a necklace ceremony before the sand ceremony to acknowledge the child(ren) and how much he/she/they are loved. NOTE: Necklaces aren't provided. This is left up to you to provide.
 

The Sand Ceremony:
GROOM and BRIDE, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings. You have committed here today to share the rest of your lives with each other. Today, you have chosen to represent this beautiful union in a special Sand Ceremony. The two separate vases represent two separate lives, separate families, separate friends. The first vase represents you, GROOM, in all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other vase represents you, BRIDE, in all that you were, all that you are and all that you will ever be. Please take turns pouring the sand into this common container to symbolize the union of your two lives.   Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, your marriage will be a molding of two individual personalities, bonded together, forming one heart, one love. The life that each of you have experienced individually, will forever after be united, for the two shall become one.

*We may have to substitute the closest color possible if we are out of a desired color. Since this is a free service to the Bride and Groom, we cannot incur the added expense of searching for an exact color. You can go to Michaels or Craft Warehouse to find the perfect color for your wedding day.
