sand ceremony

Blending granules symbolically

A sand ceremony is a wedding ritual in which the couple pours different-colored sands into a single container, creating layered patterns that symbolize the blending of two lives into one.

The mixed sand cannot be separated, representing the permanence of the union.

Sometimes children or family members add their own colors: We included sand from both beaches where we got engaged.
