"Unity Heart of Sand Ceremony"

"Unity Heart of Glass/ Unity Heart of Sand" at the same time, they repeat a verse together.

After the couple are pronounced Husband and Wife, everyone follows them to the edge of the water to make a wish or a Blessing.
The couple counts to 3 and everyone casts the stones into the water at the same time
The ripples that are made represent everyone's paths crossing and bring love and good wishes not only for the couple, but for anyone that they come into contact with.
