Sand represents the origins of mankind within ancient mythology, history, and the constructs of religion. For this reason, Unity Sand Ceremony Sets are incorporated into many different types of wedding day ceremonies, and celebrations.
This set is a representation of how the future bride and bride groom become one. This union has many facets including spiritual, emotional, religious, and even economic dynamics. The contemporary wedding couple wishes to bond on traditional levels, but also seeks to bond in a unique way that expresses undying love.
The expression of this bond has come in different shapes and sizes through the years. We'll take a look at a few of these expressions here.
It seems every gal expects an engagement ring, but has this always been the case? Surprisingly, engagement rings have existed for millennia. The sultans and sheiks of Asia commonly gifted puzzle rings during the first century BC. And the Irish Claddagh ring, crafted by Irish goldsmith Richard Joyce, has been an Irish tradition for more than 400 years.
As an alternative or addition to rings, the dowry dates back thousands of years as well. Apart from rings made of precious metals or other coveted materials, dowries are also an expression of the bond a betrothed couple will share. The bride's family gives a dowry payment to the groom's family when he takes her to be his legally wedded wife.
The reverse of a dowry is the bride wealth, which the groom's family pays to the bride's family. Each of these exchanges can be made with various types of property including money, cattle, land, or other prized possessions. They represent a mixture of both custom and economic insurance, and are very prevalent in many cultures to this very day.
Whichever symbol you use to express your love and commitment prior to your wedding day, a Unity Sand Ceremony Set will enhance this bond at the altar. Everyone who witnesses your union will be honored to share in this experience as the symbol of your love takes form with alternating bands of sand.
So without further delay, let us be one of the many who will congratulate you on your union. Our wish is that it is one full of romance, companionship, and an undying expression of unity.
