Sand Ceremony #3

Sand Ceremony Wording
"BRIDE" and "GROOM" may your love always be as constant as the never-ending waves, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea.
Just as there will never be a morning without the ocean's flow, there will never be a day without your love for each other.
You have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings.
You have committed here today to share the rest of your lives with each other.
This beautiful union is symbolized through the combining of these two individual containers of sand.
The first container represents you "BRIDE", and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other represents you "GROOM", and all that you were, all that you are and all that you will ever be.
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 an 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 single container to symbolize the union of your two lives.
Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be a molding of two individual personalities, bonded together forming one heart, one love.
The life that each of you experienced now, individually, will hereafter be inseparably united, for the two shall become one.
