This day engraved Sand Ceremony Set
This day engraved Sand Ceremony Set. “This day…” sand ceremony set of four includes one large cylinder with verse “This Day I Married My Friend” in white and three smaller blank cylinders. Large cylinder, 9″ tall, 3″ in diameter; small cylinders, 7 1/2″ tall, 1 3/4″ in diameter.
To reflect the joining and blending of two lives into one, it is suggested to fill one cylinder with white sand to represent the couple’s spiritual foundation and to fill the other two cylinders each with a different colored sand to represent the individuals. During the ceremony each color is poured into the tall cylinder one by one (usually the celebrant adds the white sand first) and then all three are added together at the top to symbolize the union.
This lovely ceremony set will be a gift that you will cherish for years to come about your special moment. A wonderful idea to put in a few grains of sand for every trip you partake in the future. Brings a special memory.
Weddings were once rather pre-prescribed affairs. In most cases that meant a bride, a groom, an officiant, some witnesses, and vows that were passed down through generations. You could, married or not, probably recite the ceremony by heart.
As cultures and ethnicities have blended, though, the realm of the mainstream has expanded. Additions of “non-traditional” elements like beach locales, personalized vows, Web-certified friend-officiants, and unity-candle ceremonies have become, if not the norm, then at least very normal, and many betrothed couples are looking for ever-newer, ever-more-surprising ways to make their weddings unique such as sand ceremonies.
