Sand Ceremony
During the sand ceremony, both the bride and the groom have a vase (or other container) of sand. The color of the sand should differ for both the bride and the groom. At the appointed time, their minister or JP will ask them to pour their sand into a large vase. This new vase symbolized the new couples marriage. The combination of the 2 colors of sand will make a unique design in the large, sand ceremony vase.
Since many churches won’t allow lighted candles, the sand ceremony is a nice way to get around this. The sand ceremony is also popular for beach or outdoor weddings, where it is difficult to keep a candle lit.
