During the ceremony, JM and I are going to use the sand instead of the unity candle. Mainly, because I like the idea of it better. I'm not losing my past, I'm just merging my life with his. (Plus, the colored sands are pretty!) Then, the more I thought about it, I realized that the ceremony is outside. What if there's a breeze or it's windy??? Then the unity candle will blow out and that CANNOT be a good omen for the marriage. I don't usually pay too much attention to signs...but that one would be obvious!
Anyways, I'm trying to decide which 'sand ceremony' kit to get. Here are my options:
On this one, I liked the nesting unity sand vases (because you could use the vases later on), and the 'new oceans away'.

This one I don't really like the vases, but they have a wider variety of sand.

This was kind of neat because we could each have our inital on our vase.

Let me know if you have any grand ideas!
What used to be known as The Wonderful World of Shan is now The Wonderful Life of Miss Ali Vi and family.

You could probably just get the sand from the second one, and the vases from whichever one you like best. Very cool idea. I agree, the unity candle burning out during the ceremony would not be good. You sure are coming along with the plans-everything is looking very nice. We should grab Aimee and get together again soon!
