Unity sand questions

[newlife103010]

If you are doing a unity sand ceremony how did you seal your jars closed so the sand wouldn't empty out? And what song did you use when you were filling them?

We didn't seal our jars closed. All three jars (one for each of us, and then the middle one) didn't have corks or tops or anything. We transported the jar back home carefully and put it on our mantel.

With my luck, there would have been sand EVERYWHERE by the end of the trip. ;) You've got some chutzpah (and excellent luck)!

That would be me too! That's why I was asking. lol :)

Oh, what I left out is that about two months after we got married, my brother and SIL were over and my brother and I were goofing around in the living room. He threw a pillow at me, it missed, and knocked our sand ceremony jar onto the hearth, breaking it and scattering sand everywhere (the other casualty was our cake topper). He felt so horrible. I couldn't help but laugh.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! Yep. That's why I am looking for something that actually closes. What happened to your cake topper??

[lizzie]

To be fair, the sand would have scattered regardless of whether there was a top/cork on it, since the glass broke. Our cake topper broke into a couple of pieces, though my husband was able to glue it back together pretty easily.

True, about the sand scattering. Your cake topper is beautiful. :)

oh no, Lizzie that sucks!

LOL, that's karma for you! XD Nooo, just kidding, as you're right, cork wouldn't have helped. That's still pretty funny, though!
