We need wedding vows for unity sand...with Christ being the first sand color so that the marriage is built on?

Question

Christ and then the following 2 other colors for the bride and groom....Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Usually the unity ceremony is after the marriage vows and ring exchange (if there is one)

Your officiant should be writing the words.  Speak to her/him.

Answer 2

Ditto previous poster - we did a sand ceremony and it was performed after we did our traditional wedding vows.

Here is one I ran across when researching wording for ours:

"Today you have chosen to represent your love to each other in this special sand ceremony. This ceremony symbolizes your inseparable union as you enter into a new and everlasting relationship with each other. Before you there are three vases of sand. The pink and the blue sand represent the separate journeys you were once on. They also represent your own family and friends that were once apart. The white sand represents your faith. Just as Jesus Christ is the Lord of your lives and the Rock of your salvation, He will also be the solid foundation that holds your marriage firm. As these two individual vases of sand are poured into the third container and mix with faith, the individual containers will no longer exist, but will be intertwined, symbolizing a loving and faithful union."

"I now ask that you blend your vases of sand together."

(Pouring of sand with music)

"_____ and _____, just as the grains of sand can never again be separated into their individual vases; your lives are now joined. Your friends and family are one as well. From now until eternity you will share those who are in your lives and will walk hand-in-hand along the path of your marriage. "

Answer 3

Hope this helps!!!  

Officiant: (Bride/Groom) and (Groom/Bride) will now come together for the Mixing of the Sands. Just as Jesus Christ is the Lord of their lives and the Rock of their Salvation, He will now be the solid foundation that holds their marriage firm. This is symbolized by the white sand in the bottom of the bottle. (Bride/Groom) and (Groom/Bride) both have sands that symbolize their individual lives and selves. As they pour their sands in together, it shows how their lives- once separate- are now becoming intertwined as one. Just as it would be impossible to separate these sands once poured, their union shall make them inseperable as well. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
