Re: What is a sand ceremony?
Its pretty much another version of the Unity candle. Bride takes one thing of sand, groom another and together you pour the sand into one container and that is supposed to symbolize your individual lives now joining as one and you can never be separate again, just as ur sand and grooms sand cannot be separated once joined.

that's it, exactly
just wanted to add:
*many times they are used for outdoor ceremonies, because wind might blow out candle
*many times they are used when bride and/or groom have kids, to unite the 'family'... this is what we did. i now have a beautiful and meaningful piece of sand art in my china cabinet

We did this and it looks so pretty in the pictures
I just wanted to add that you can also have your mom and FH's mom pour a little of the sand to start it off...similar to havign the moms light the candles
