“Unity” Sand Ceremony
Love is the eternal force of life.
Love is the force that allows us to face fear and uncertainty with courage.
But although you will be sharing one life, never forget you are two separate people.
Cherish and affirm your differences.
Love each other.
Keep your commitment primary.
Together you will laugh and cry, be sick and well, be happy and angry, share and grow.
Grow sometimes together, sometimes separately."
"To symbolize the importance of the individuals within the marriage and the joining of two lives as one entity, sand will now be layered into a base."
(Bride is handed the first container of sand, husband is handed a second container of and. The minister has one small clear jar filled with Neutral color sand and a large empty jar)
The Minister speaks again:
"We begin with the first layer of sand which symbolizes that the marriage is grounded."
"The pour and layering of sand symbolizes that the marriage is based on the strength of the individuals."
Husband pours a small amount of sand in from his container. Bride then adds a small amount of sand from her container.
"And now we combine the remaining sand in bride’s and husband’s jar, which symbolize two lives joined as one together forever."
(Husband and bride simultaneously pour their remaining sand into the large jar until their jars are empty. The minister caps off the sand and then holds the large jar up as if presenting to the wedding audience and places the jar to the side)
Marriage is God ordained, Pastor would love an opportunity to meet with couples that are seeking direction in this area!
