Modern Sand Ceremony
What is a sand ceremony anyway? Well, it basically is a new and modern approach that takes the place of a Unity Candle Ceremony. You see, outdoor weddings can't necessarily keep a flame lit so... a sand ceremony has pretty much taken it's place.
How does this happen? During the wedding ceremony the minister provides time for the bride and groom to symbolically join their two lives into one by combining two vases, jars or viles of sand (in any color you choose) and pouring it into one main keepsake container.
Normally, the groom begins first, setting the foundation while the bride follows with loving support and then the combination of the two together create equality. Now, what you have to remember is that not all the sand is poured into the third container. A little bit of sand is always kept to represent that each person still remains as the beautiful individual they are. Then the keepsake container of combined sand is kept forever as a reminder of this symbolic blessing.
