Sand Unity

The relationship is further symbolised through the pouring of the individual glass containers of sand. One representing you, and all that you were and all you will ever be.

Once the grains are touching they can never be separated

Today we celebrate the joining of two families, Bride and Groom, you come here today from two different families. From these two families a new family will be made today.

Combining ready made families

A beautiful visual display for the children to be joined with their new siblings

Inclusive

I will now ask your son and daughter to join us as we begin a symbolic expression of the family union

Rainbow sand

A tradition full of symbolism

Individual description

I will describe each individual person in the family and what they mean to the family before they come forward and pour their colour sand into the unity vessel.

Bonding of two souls

Lets put the ceremony back in ceremonies

A legacy of lineage

A moment to stop & pause
