Wedding Rituals
Handfasting Ceremony
Historians believe “ tying the knot” originated in the Irish tradition of HandFasting where Couples acknowledged their betrothal by having their hands tied together by an officiant with ribbons or cord to symbolise their commitment to each other. Nowadays this ritual is very popular at weddings and vow renewal ceremonies. They can involve family and friends where each person places a different coloured ribbon over the couple’s hands each ribbon representing a different meaning.

About The Sands Unity Ceremony?
This ritual involves a symbolic blending of different coloured sands into a single vessel.
The meaning is the blending of two different beings into a single inseparable unit and the joining of their lives. This is also very popular with couples who both have children from previous partnerships.
This ritual allows the children to be involved with their own colour sand so each child would pour their sand into a single vessel bringing the whole family together as one unity.
The Sands Unity Ceremony – A beautiful and meaningful alternative
The Sands Unity Ceremony is a beautiful and meaningful way to symbolise the coming together of two individuals to create a new and blended family. As a qualified celebrant in North Wales, I highly recommend this unique and creative ritual. It’s a great alternative to the more traditional unity ceremonies, such as the Unity Candle Ceremony, and provides an opportunity for family members and friends to get involved by adding their own sand to the container.
