So my FI and I had been leaning towards doing the sand ceremony but I saw this thing called "hand fasting" on four weddings and I loved it and when I mentioned it to the FI he said "we could do that if you want"...would both be overkill?
To sum it up, the bride and groom hold hands and a piece of fabric is wrapped around their hands and a prayer is said. So it's basically the same concept as the sand ceremony.
So what I am thinking about is, what does everyone do with their sand ceremony afterwards? Did you keep it? Did you toss the sand and use the container as a vase Did you preserve it? I just want to make sure I won't look back and be like "well that was a waste of money" because I keep thinking about the sand art I used to make when I was little and how eventually, no matter what I did, the sand all eventually mixed together and it just looked like a hot mess.
any advice would be appreciated!
TIA!
