The Sand Ceremony is a very popular wedding ritual. In this ritual, the bride and groom each come to the ceremony with a vessel filled with sand of a certain color. The different color sands in the separate vessels represent the uniqueness and the wholeness of each individual.

Bride and groom, then, each take turns holding their vessel and speaking of who they are as an individual, including their hopes and dreams for the future, as Find Out More

This photo brings back happy memories as the groom had contacted me seven months earlier from active duty in Afghanistan. I prayed for him until the moment he called me stateside and said, “I’m back, Reverend Iala. Find Out More
