As a Civil Wedding Celebrant in Catania and Sicily, I like to include in my repertoire unique and meaningful rituals that represent the couple's love and commitment. One of these rites is the Rite of the Sand.
The sand ritual is a ceremony that symbolizes the union between two lives that become one. The protagonists of the ceremony are the spouses, who find themselves in front of an empty vase, ready to welcome two sands of different colors.
During the Rite, the spouses take a small quantity of sand of their own color and pour it into the common vase, alternating until the sand of the two colors mixes, creating a new design. In this way, the sand represents the two lives that come together creating a single reality where both are complementary to each other.
During the ceremony, the celebrant and the witnesses can enrich the ritual with readings that represent the union, love and complicity between the spouses, making the solemnity of the moment felt and making the ceremony even more emotional.
The sand ritual is one of the perfect ceremonies for those who wish to create a personalized, symbolic and special ceremony.
The beauty of this rite lies in its simplicity and its ability to create a moment of union and sharing between the spouses: it is particularly suitable for those couples who are looking for a way to unite their traditions and their lives, even when they come from different cultures. different, because it can easily be adapted to any culture or religion.
Furthermore, the vase with sand will remain as a tangible memory that will accompany the spouses on their journey of life together, reminding them of the love that united them on that very special day.
