Beaches Resorts Offering Sand Ceremony

If you're considering a Caribbean wedding, honeymoon, and family vacation all in one, check out Beaches Resorts, well known for its FamilyMoons™ package. Starting July 1, the resorts are adding a Unity Sand Ceremony. To be offereed at all four Beaches Resorts in Jamaica and the Turks & Caicos, the ceremony literally symbolizes – with Caribbean white sand - the coming together of two families into one.

How It Works: Brides, grooms and their respective children each receive beautiful nesting vases, with the side vessels representing each of the family members and the center vessel – their new family. Each member takes turns pouring sand into the common center vessel, physically representing the union of “two into one.” Just as it is impossible to separate the grains of sand in the vase, it will be impossible to separate the new family.
