The Sand Ceremony represents leaving two separate lives and joining to make one life together, that is the joining of the two families but especially the bride and groom. The separate lives are symbolized by two vases of sand, in different colors. The Bride and Groom come together, and pour into one vase, two individual colors of sand. the pouring of these two individual containers of sand representing all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together .

The Wedding Sand Ceremony, incorporated into many of today's weddings, creates a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that symbolizes the union of ''two into one''.   Just as the Sand Ceremony creates a unique memory of your wedding day,
