[LadyP]

I can not believe that I have not told you how great all of your things look. I come almost everyday and look at everything you have done and get inspired.

 

These are beautiful and I will say that if your guest do not appreciate all of the energy and hard work you put into the wedding, I will go out on a limb and say we teh BDW future/experienced/and wanna be brides do. I absolutely love it.

 

Your wedding will be soo lovely that I will cry.(not and emotional girl).

We are all going to be thinking about you and waiting anxiously to see the pictures and hear all about your wonderful day! Congratulations and thanks for sharing everything! I agree that you need to get in the planning business - you are incredible!! One more question - could you share the wording from your sand ceremony (only if you have a chance)?

Thanks Jen! It's funny that Tammy posted the wording because I've actually been working on this this morning! We wanted to do a little different sand ceremony and incorporate something having to do with Christianity into ours. This is the wording we have decided on:

Sand Ceremony

Dad: “Jeff and Sarah, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings. This covenant is a relationship pledge between two people who have agreed that they will commit themselves to one another for the rest of their lives. Today, this bond is also symbolized through the pouring of three individual bottles of sand into one. One bottle represents you, Jeff, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you ever will be. One bottle represents you, Sarah, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you ever will be. The third bottle represents Christ, all that he is and will forever be. As these three bottles of sand are poured into one, the individuals continue to exist, but a fourth entity is also created; one which did not exist before but will continue forever.â€

Dad: “This layer represents Christ, who is and always will be the foundation of you both as individuals.â€
Dad pours the beach layer
Dad: “Jeff, pour some of your sand, which will represent you as an individual.â€
Jeff pours next sand layer
Dad: “Sarah, pour some of your sand, which will represent you as an individual.â€
Sarah pours next sand layer
Dad: “This layer represents Christ as the foundation of your marriageâ€
Dad pours more of the beach layer
Dad: “Jeff and Sarah, as you each held your separate containers of sand, it represented your lives to this moment; individual and unique. As you now combine your sand together, your lives also join together as one. You may now blend the sand together symbolizing the uniting of the bride and groom into one.â€
Jeff & Sarah pour the rest of the sand from their individual bottles into one
at the same time.
Dad: “Finally, this sand again represents Christ’s role in your relationship and symbolizes that he will always fill you and complete your marriage.â€
Dad pours sand
Dad: “Just as the individual grains of sand can never again be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so your marriage will be.â€
