Example #1:
Officiant:
_______&___________ will now perform their sand ceremony.
___________&__________, today you join your separate lives together.The two separate bottles of sand symbolize your separate lives, separate families, and separate set of friends. they are all you are and all you will ever be as an individual. They also represent your lives before today. 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 joined again into individual containers, so will your marriage be. You each will remain individual, with your own uniqueness, but far more importantly, is the reality that you are no longer two but one.
