:confused: Me and my FH love both the rose and sand ceremony!! Does anyone think that would be a good idea to combine them two??? Like have the rose ceremony first, then the whole you may now kiss the bride thing, since the sand ceremony starts out talking about exchanging rings and kisses... Or would it make the ceremony to long and drawn out???:confused:

as long as you make the ceremonies short and sweet, I think you could fit them both in. Just try not to be redundant, make sure the rings, roses, and sand are being clearly stated as representing different things.
or place the roses in the sand to represent you two as individuals in the midst of your knew combined life (like when you leave the individual tapers lit at the end of a unity candle ceremony)

a rose ceremony is done much like a unity candle or sand ceremony, the bride and groom each place a rose into a vase to symbolize their union while some appropriate words are said by the officiant, just like they would pouring sand together or lighting the unity candle.

I think it would be redundant. I would choose either the sand, rose or unity candle ceremony. More than that would bore the guests.

Ok...well now that I know...

Stick with one. Since they all have the same meaning, pick the one you like the most, and run with it. (I wish I could change my poll answer...I said not sure, but I totally would pick no now).

Lisa, what is your rose ceremony? We were going to do the rose and sand at our wedding too, but the rose ceremony was going to be totally different. Ours involved giving roses to the mothers after being if we were accepted into the family (in other words, of course). Anyways, we decided to only do the sand b/ c of logistical reasons. If you are talking about the rose ceremony that faeievert is talking about, I would just do one, although you can put your own little twist on it and do one at the beginning and one towards the ends. If you decide to do just one, in my opinion, you should go the untradional route and do the sand. Everyone LOVED it at our wedding!!!!

our rose ceremony that we found was giving each other a single red rose as our first gifts to each other as husband and wife.. there is a little speech the officiant makes about it.. talking about the red rose is a symbol of love and that is why the red rose is the first gift and all this stuff...
