Always remember these words: Love is

Patient, Love is Kind. Love is not jealous or boastful. Nor proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, & keeps no records of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful & endures through every circumstance.

We now bring you to our sand ceremony where the couple will then bring both of their bottles of sand that symbolize them as an individual unit & to bond them together as a whole!

*PAUSE*

Manuel & Ambriel, today you make the promise to join your separate lives to create one.

*PAUSE*

The two separate bottles of sand lives

to make one. The two separate bottles of sand symbolize your separate lives, your separate families & separate sets of friends.

*PAUSE*

They represent all that you are & all that you will ever be as an individual. They also represent your lives before today.

*PAUSE*

As these two containers of sand are emptied, the individual containers of sand no longer exist, but will be joined together as one & binded forever.

*PAUSE*

& just as these grains of sand can never separate neither will the love you share.

PRAYER

Now let us pray

“Heavenly Father we are here on this day to give thanks for the love you have shared with these two individuals. We ask that you help Manuel & Ambriel to always remember when they first met & to remember the strong love that grew between them.

To work that love into practical things so that nothing divides them. Please help them find words both loving and kind & hearts ready to ask for forgiveness as well as be able to forgive. & now with this Rosary we bind Man & Wife, Father we put this loving marriage in your hands from protection from all that could divide them!” Amen”

PRONOUNCEMENT

To make your marriage work it will take lots of love.

It will take trust, to know that in your hearts you truly want what is best for each other.

It will take dedication, to stay open to one another & to learn & grow together.

It will take faith in God & in yourselves to go

forward together, without knowing what the future holds.

It will take commitment to remain true to the journey you both have pledged today.

You both have stated your intent, you have declared commitment to one another , you performed the unity sand ceremony, you have exchanged rings & said a prayer to bless this union. There is now only one thing left to do…..
