HELP!!! Sand Ceremony reading??

[Cattie]

Thanks Seaprincess for clarifying who I actually "borrowed" it from. Everyone LOVED it! Even though the minister screwed it up a few times, it turned out beautiful!

This thread is great and just what I needed since we will be incorporating FI's kids into the sand ceremony.

As you stand beside the ocean, may your love always be as constant as the tide; waves flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea. Just as water is the eternal force of life, so is love. Love is the force that allows us to face fear and uncertainty with courage.
You have just sealed your relationship by giving and receiving of rings. But although you will be sharing one life, never forget that you are two separate people. Cherish and affirm your differences. Love each other. Keep your commitment primary. Together you will laugh and cry, be sick and well, be happy and angry, share and grow. Grow sometimes together, sometimes separately.
To symbolize this union and the importance of the individuals within the marriage, two separate colors of sand will be combined. Each one holds its own unique beauty, strength, and character. They can stand on their own and be whole, without need of anything else. However when these two are blended together they create and entirely new and extraordinarily more intricate entity.
Each grain of sand brings to the mixture a lasting beauty that forever enriches the combination. Please pour the sand into this common container to symbolize the union of your two lives.

Kathleen and Pawel, just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual container, so will your marriage be a molding of two individual personalities, bonded together forming one heart, one life, and one family.

These are all great! How will I ever decide?!

I wasn't planning on doing a sand ceremony but after reading this I am starting to feel like I should. The words are so beautiful and it really holds alot of meaning. It's kind of like the unity candle really, same message, but more practical for the beach!!!!

Thank you for starting this thread! We are doing a sand ceremony as well and it's good to get some more ideas! Have you already gotten a sand ceremony kit? We found some really nice ones at sandsationalsparkle.com! They had such a variety of colors as well! We aren't sure if there's any other good places that sell them?
