We met with our officiant yesterday. We are having a very brief ceremony and not doing a lot of the traditional things for our ceremony. But I have children, and she suggested having a sand ceremony with us and the children to symbolize the unification of the family (I guess). I sort of like the idea, but I've never seen the sand ceremony done.
I don't know how I feel about this. I was wondering if anyone is doing one, has done one, or has seen it done? Could you please tell me what you think about it? What do you think about doing it with the children? I could see my kids (especially my youngest) really getting into it and liking it, but I also could see it being strange and falling flat.
What do you think?
