Wedding Ceremony Couple Mingling 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.

Some couples use the mingling of sands very much like others use the candle lighting ceremony. The mingling of sands in the wedding ceremony is an indication of the union that has taken place. They are now no longer one person, but a united couple.

The single containers of sands symbolises their individuality. The main container represents their union as husband and wife.

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

Sand Ceremony
Celebrant:
(Bride) and (Groom), you have sealed your relationship by the exchanging of vows and the giving and receiving of rings, and this pledge is a relationship promise between two people who agree that they will commit themselves to one another throughout their lives. 

The most beautiful example of this partnership is the marriage relationship. You have committed yourselves here today to share the rest of your lives with each other. Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand - one representing you, (Bride), and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be. The other represents you, (Groom), and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be.

As these two containers of sand are poured into the third 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 your marriage be.
