Wedding Ceremony with Children and Blending of Sands 

For a marriage ceremony to be legal, there are few simple requirements. After that, a couple may create a wedding ceremony that is both personal and unique.

Many couples, with children from former marriages, like to include the children in the wedding ceremony to indicate their importance in their lives.

To indicate this union not only of the partners themselves, but their children as well, the mingling of sands ceremony is included in the wedding ceremony to indicate the union of both families.

Here is a sample taken out of my Wedding Ceremony Resource Book.

Sand Ceremony
Celebrant:
Today (Bride) and (Groom) have sealed their commitment to each other with the exchange of rings, they also make a commitment to their children. We recognize the significant role that children play in this marriage celebrated today. They will now join (Bride) and (Groom) in this commitment to each other by contributing a part of each individual person into one blended family.

Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these individual containers of sand, each representing a member of the family. As each individual sand is poured into the family's one united common container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one.

Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will  become the bond with your family.
