Like colours of the rainbow we are all different and special, valuable, and precious. Therefore it is only fitting that you be shown as an important part of this marriage after all marriage is really about family. These containers of sand represent each of you and your importance in this family. I will ask each of you to now pour some of your sand into the jar. The sand has now been joined together and cannot be isolated. These grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your family be a moulding of 6 individual personalities, bonded together. You are joined together today, not only in marriage, but also as a family."
