Sand ceremony poem

How about this: I found it on here.

The priest should know, most have them already.... but if not, one you can do is this

'_______ and _______, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings and the exchange of a kiss, and this covenant is a relationship pledge 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 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, _______ and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, _______, 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. '

You might like this one:
'As you stand beside the ocean tide, may your love always be as constant as these never-ending waves that pour near your feet, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea; Your love came softly upon each others heart, just as the foam comes softly upon the
sand, and just as there will never be a morning without the ocean's flow, so there will never
be a day without love for each other.
You have pledged yourselves on this day your love will be as dependable as the tide; as these waters nourish the earth and sustain life, may your constant devotion nourish and sustain you until the end of time. James and Lori, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings, and this covenant is a relationship agreement 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 here today to share the rest of your lives with each other. This relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand one representing you, Lori and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, James, 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. Far more important than your individuality is now the reality that you are no longer two
but one, never to be separated one from the other.'
Hope to help!

lol check out the count on the left!!! we are under by about 25! almost 100 ppl said no!!

wow- I thought 60ish no's were bad. Some I knew wouldnt come but you have to invite them but the rest were a total shock.

My FH says that its partly because the economy is bad and people cant afford to spend 200-300 to go to a wedding (and thats if it doesnt involve traveling)
