The Sand Pouring Ceremony: A symbolic act
representing your union as husband and wife and your individual families becoming one united family. The bride and groom
take vessels filled with different colors of sand and simultaneously alternate pouring their separate containers into one larger clear glass container creating a unique, mixed sand pattern. Just as it would be difficult to separate the individual grains of sand back into their separate colors, so too will it be to ever separate both of you.
You can even
incorporate your hobbies, e.g., if you’re into home-brewing, use a six-pack of beer bottles and have each parent pour from a bottle and then pour your bottles together; if you are wine enthusiasts, use bottles from your favorite wine or a wine carafe, if you enjoy the beach, use sea shells. If you already have children, you can have them participate as well. Your
professional disc jockey can play soft instrumental background music during the sand pouring and as your officiant's explains its significance. Thereafter,
you will have the sand mixture as a keepsake of your unity, to proudly display in your home for years to come.
