It is one of the most common spiritual ceremonies for weddings. You only need two medium and one large vase, all of which must be transparent. As a couple you must pour the contents of the medium vases into the larger one, which will symbolize the combination of your lives since it is impossible to separate the sands once they are mixed, representing that there is no way to separate the sands once they are mixed, representing that there is no way to separate them.back to who they were before this day.

This is an ideal ceremony to make a symbolic marriage at the beach The sand of the beach where you are getting married can be used and it can be even more meaningful.

As in the case of sand and water, this symbolic ceremony represents life together that is created from the union of two people.
