Crystal Unity Ceremony
As my wedding day approaches, I find myself reflecting on what will make this special day truly meaningful for me and my fiancé, Dan. It is important for us to find a way to create a ceremony that will not only unite us as a couple but also symbolize the merging of our families.
After exploring various options, I have decided to do something original and created a Crystal Unity Ceremony that felt like it would be the perfect fit for us as we are all crystal enthusiasts.
Unity Sand Ceremony with a Twist
The Crystal Unity Ceremony is a unique twist on the traditional Unity Sand Ceremony, which many are familiar with. In a Unity Sand Ceremony, the couple pours different colored sand into a single container, symbolizing the blending of their lives into one.
However, I wanted to add a personal touch to this common tradition and knew that incorporating crystals would hold a special significance for us.
Crystal Chips
With the Crystal Unity Ceremony, I have selected small crystal chips* for each of us and our children to add to a heart shaped, glass container that carry a unique energy that we want to invite into our marriage and family and symbolizing that each of us bring a unique energy to the family, as well.
Each type of crystal varies in color and should create a beautiful combination when added to the jar. I have chosen to represent the One Source of Divine Power and Love with clear and rose quartz crystal chips at the bottom of the jar as the foundation upon which our family with thrive.
Unity Ceremony Script
The script for the ceremony reflects our intentions and emotions, making it personal and heartfelt. We will stand together as a family, acknowledging that each individual's uniqueness contributes to the unity we are creating.
The officiant will explain the significance each type of crystal, and then the family member assigned to that crystal will pour the crystal chps into the jar, solidifying our commitment to one another and our new life as a blended family.
A Personalized Ceremony
As the day of our wedding draws near, I am grateful to have a ritual to incorporate that expresses my personality, spirituality, and love of family. It has allowed us to personalize our ceremony and create a meaningful symbol of unity that encompasses not only Dan and me, but also our children, forming a strong foundation for our new family.
I can't wait to share this beautiful ceremony with our loved ones and begin our journey as husband and wife, united in love and harmony.
