The Sand Ceremony
This is a beautiful and meaningful addition to your vows that is symbolic of your new journey together as husband and wife.
The Sand Ceremony is similar in meaning to the Unity Candle Ceremony – both represent two individuals united to become one.
The Ceremony
The bride and groom have each chosen a vase that contains sand of their favourite colour. The sand colours represent their personalities and individuality. As the sand is poured into the Unity Vase, their personalities combine to become one inseparable entity – this is symbolic of the sand never being separated again.
Family
The sand ceremony is a great way to involve members of the family and can be particularly of significance especially when the couple have children. A member of the Bride’s family can pour part of her coloured sand into the Unity Vase and a member of the Groom’s family can do the same. This is symbolic of the beginning of your life’s journey together as a couple and as a family.
No doubt, you will want to keep your Unity Vase in a special place in your home as a joyful keepsake of your special day and a reminder of the love that you have for each other.
