Including Mothers in Your Sand Ceremony

Here is a sample ceremony that was written to include the mother of the bride and mother of the groom.

[name] and [name] today you have agreed to share the rest of your lives together as a married couple.

But long before today your parents provided you with a foundation of love and caring which has brought you to this point.

At this time I'd like to invite the mothers of the bride and groom to come forward and to pour the first layer of sand which represents the basis upon which you will build your lives.

Mothers pour the sand and then return to their seats.

The union you are making is symbolized by these two individual containers of sand; one representing you, [name], and all that you were, and all that you are, and that you will become.

The other one representing you, [name], and all that you were, and all that you are, and all that you will become.

As these two containers of sand are poured into a third container, the individual containers of sand will cease to 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.
