MAKE YOUR CEREMONY
AN EVENT TO REMEMBER
WITH ONE OF THESE
SYMBOLIC RITUALS:
SAND CEREMONY
Symbolizing the blending of two lives
into one, this ceremony is perfect for
beach weddings. The couple alternates
pouring sand into a single vessel. Inviting
family members to participate, having the
container personalized, or using colored
sand are all fun approaches.
BLESSING OF THE RINGS

For couples who would like to include
family and friends in their ceremony, the
Blessing of the Rings is an ideal option.
The couple’s wedding rings are passed
from guest to guest, each of whom takes a
moment to bestow a blessing or wish upon
the rings.
WINE CEREMONY
For centuries wine has been a symbol of
life and prosperity. Similar to the sand
ceremony, the wine ceremony symbolizes
the blending of two lives as the couple takes
turns pouring wine into a single glass
before they each take a sip.
LIGHT A UNITY CANDLE
This contemporary ritual symbolizes the
joining together of the couple, as well as
their families. Each person holds a tapered
candle, which is then used to light a larger
pillar candle.
TIE THE KNOT
The phrase “tying the knot” known has
become synonymous with weddings. The
act, traditionally known as handfasting,
has its origins in an ancient Celtic practice
dating back to the medieval era. Couples
literally bind their hands together by tying
knots of cloth around them, representing
two lives binding together in matrimony.
