To symbolize the importance of the individuals within marriage and the joining of two lives into one entity, two colors of sand will be layered into one.

One jar of sand is handed to the bride, one to the groom.

One represents (bride) and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be. The other represents (groom) and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. __________ and _________now come forth to seal their relationship through the mixing of these sands. Just as two lives together now join to become one, so will the individual sands become one as they are poured. It would be impossible to separate these sands, just as it would be impossible to separate ________ and _________’s lives after today.
