A sand ceremony is a symbolic ritual often performed during wedding ceremonies. It involves the couple pouring different colored sands into a single container, representing their individual lives coming together as one. Each color of sand signifies the unique qualities and experiences of each partner. This ceremony can also include family members, allowing them to pour their own sand, symbolizing the blending of families. The final product is a beautiful, layered display that serves as a lasting reminder of the couple's commitment and unity, often displayed in their home as a cherished keepsake.
