I copied this from another thread: Guests stand in circle around you to create a "circle of love", creating an energy
Each cardinal direction represents a different god (here's where I get fuzzy, my notes are at home) love, beauty, protection, purity, earth (ground), heaven (sky). Couple is presented to each direction for their blessing
A direct connection to the earth - participants are barefoot, on the sand, candle and props are on the ground
flower petals representing the gifts of the gods (a different color for each direction) - the couple is sprinkled with the flower petals
candle - represents your commitment, it is lit at the beginning of the ceremony and burns throughout the entire ceremony. The ceremony is stopped so that the candle can be relit if it ever goes out.
At the end of the ceremony, each guest is given an opportunity to offer the couple their good wishes or words of advice
active participation - guests are given musical instruments and celebrate the blessings after each god blesses the couple
