www.opentip.com The heart unity sand ceremony is another way to make a sand ceremony even more meaningful. By adding a third vase you are able to add another symbolic element to this event. Incorporate your priest, child or have the third vase represent your shared spiritual beliefs. The engravable central bottle, with glass stopper, creates a beautiful reminder that will preserve the moment for years to come. How it works: 1. Begin the ceremony by having the designated individual(s) pour the entire contents of the ‘symbol’ vase into the central container. This can happen at the beginning of the wedding, during the candle lighting or prior to the sand ceremony. 2. The Groom will begin by pouring a portion of this colored sand into the central bottle. 3. The Bride will follow by pouring a portion of her sand into the central bottle – creating a layered effect. 4. To complete the ceremony, the Groom and Bride simultaneously pour the balance of their sand into the central container. The sand of the Bride and Groom is meant to represent their individuality, while the sand in the symbol vase is meant to represent the foundation for which the marriage is built, whether it be faith or family. The blending of sand symbolizes a loving union and the single path to be traveled together from this day forward. Just as the grains of sand can never be separated and returned to their original place, so too will the journey as husband and wife remain strong and united.
