what do you girls think?? we met with the reverend last night and was not going to do either.. but how he explained it... i just got the chills.. and now i love the idea!! now i dont know which one i like better....
the sand is newer and very unique..and we can have as a keepsake forever.. i think im leaning more towards that!!
what have you girls done?? or will be doing?? if any??

We are doing the sand ceremony because we will be outside - if there is any wind I think the candle ceremony could be tough
...plus I like the idea of having the keepsake.

If we do anything (we haven't decided yet) we will do the candle.

We did this for the same reasons - and it was really nice! Though, one word of advice - when pouring the sand, pay attention to how fast each of you are pouring. DH took his time, and I poured mine really fast - so it doesn't looked so much blended together as my color on the bottom and his on top. (SShh....2 weeks later we scooped some out and redid it so it looks better. I know, we're going to hell. )
I don't have any pics on this computer unfortunately....

Re: unity candle vs. sand ceremony
I love the symbolism behind the ceremonies... I personally did the candles. Is your wedding on a beach? In that case, DEFINATELY do the sand one!

I did the sand ceremony and everyone that attended loved it and many said they had never seen it before.

We are doing the unity candle. I went with that because i knew I wanted to do our unity candle as a DIY to match our theme, and I love the 2 flames become one thing.
