Unity Sand is a symbolic ritual easily incorporated into your ceremony to represent your union &/or the coming together of your families. In combining two or more colors of sand into one common vessel, participants in this ritual symbolically blend their own uniqueness, strengths, vulnerabilities, and histories into one beautiful and unified whole.
If you have children who will, through your marriage, become part of a combined family, this is a meaningful way to include them in your ceremony. As they, along with the two of you, pour the sand, they become a part of the commitment of love. Similarly, parents or members of your respective family members can be invited to participate, either by presenting the couple with the containers of sand or by pouring sand to represent your respective families coming together in love and support.
As the sand is poured, an explanation of the symbolism, a reading, or a blessing can be recited to speak to the meaning of this beautiful ritual.
