The joining of this new family will have a deep influence upon them. We realize that in order for the home to be a happy one, it is essential that there be love and understanding between the children and the adults being married. For Trevor and Ali the celebration can be more than just witnessing. This is an opportunity for them to bring themselves into the new family and in a symbolic sense to give themselves to this new venture of the marriage of their father. Abbie and Doug, today you are making a life-long commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other and honor Doug’s children as well. Your family relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these individual containers of sand. One representing you, Abbie, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, one representing you, Doug, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be and another container for each child. As you each hold your sand, the separate containers of sand represent your lives to this moment; individual and unique. As you now combine your sand together, your lives also join together as one family. You may now blend the sand together symbolizing the uniting of the children and bride and groom into one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will be your marriage and your family.

Abbie,

This is so beautifuly worded. Where did you find it? I have been looking for something to do for our AHR b/c I wanted to include his neice and nephew in some way. Maybe the kids can pour 2 colors and we can pour 2 colors. Any information would be great.

Thanks,

Heather

the container with the candle, im burning the candle down most of the way, then we'll pour the sand on top. it has a sealing lid, to keep the sand in nice and tight.

i just googled sand ceremony then picked the one i liked the best and tweaked it to fit. i think you could probably tweak this one to fit with the neice and nephew, somehow. just change up the wording to make it say having them celebrate with their uncle and new auntie!

nice colors.

[Celina]

CUTE colors! (now that I can see them) lol! Can you explain a little more about the candle? Are you just using it for the container purposes? I'm confused.

hehe
ok so i found the candle at target and i loved the shape, plus because it has a sealing type of lid, i thought it would be perfect. so i'm burning it down as much as i can before the wedding, but leaving an inch or 2 of candle in the bottom for 2 reasons, 1)the color matches perfectly, and 2), 4 lbs of sand wont quite fill the jar so im leaving a little wax to make the sand need less room, does that make more sense?? sorry

Thanks Abbie,

I think it is a great idea.
