Including Children in Your Beach Wedding Ceremony

If you or your future spouse have children you might want to consider including them in your Beach Wedding Ceremony. We work with many couples that want to include their children in the ceremony but don't want to expand their bridal parties to include flower girls, ring bearers, or Jr bridesmaids and groomsmen.

One of the simplest ways to include them is during the Sand Ceremony. There is a container filled with sand for each person and an empty container. Each person pours their sand into the empty container symbolizing the uniting of the bride, groom and children into one.  There is a part of the Sand Ceremony that says, "Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage and your family be united as one for all of your days".

 This ceremony is kid friendly and with the option to upgrade to colored sand you can bet that even the shyest of children will want to take part and pour their favorite color of sand into the jar just like Mom and Dad!

If you would like to see a copy of the entire Sand Ceremony, please email me and I would be happy to send it to you.
