Sand Ceremony

[islandbride8]

My fiance and I are excited about including the sand ceremony in our wedding.  I understand that for a civil ceremony (what we are having) this would be after the judge leaves.  My question is for brides who have included the sand ceremony or plan to: Whom did you have talk during this?  I know the WC can do it but I would like for that part to be more personal (since the judge part won't be).  My parents will both be there, but more than likely his will not be, so we don't want one of my parents to do it.  My brother and his sister will both be there though and I was thinking of including them in this by having them both read something.  What do couples usually do?!?!  I'm also having a hard time finding a sealable vase that isn't a big heart, if anyone out there knows of any please fill me in with the details.  Thanks in advance!

I can't help you on who to talk to b/c we had a minister.  But, if you google "sand ceremony containers," tons of different types come up.  We personally used a picture frame, I love the way it turned out (pic in my planning thread).  Good Luck!
