I was looking on the internet to find a sand ceremony that I liked and couldn't find one. I decided to take parts of all of the ceremony I found and combined them.
"Today you have chosen to represent your love to each other in this special sand ceremony. This ceremony symbolizes your inseparable union as you enter into a new and everlasting relationship with each other. Before you there are three vases of sand. The pink and the blue sand represent the separate journeys you were once on. They also represent your own family and friends that were once apart. The white sand represents your faith. Just as Jesus Christ is the Lord of your lives and the Rock of your salvation, He will also be the solid foundation that holds your marriage firm. As these two individual vases of sand are poured into the third container and mix with faith, the individual containers will no longer exist, but will be intertwined, symbolizing a loving and faithful union."
"I now ask that you blend your vases of sand together."
(Pouring of sand with music)
"Ashley and Jon, just as the grains of sand can never again be separated into their individual vases; your lives are now joined. Your friends and family are one as well. From now until eternity you will share those who are in your lives and will walk hand-in-hand along the path of your marriage. "
What do you think? I am open to any suggestions!!
