Show and Tell Friday

Today I'm participating in "Show and Tell Friday" hosted over at Kelli's blog, There's No Place Like Home. Please go visit her blog here to see more great show and tell posts!

Today I am sharing this wonderful vase filled with sand. Wonderful you say? Well, this was a very special part of our wedding and for those of you who don't know, it is called "Unity Sand".

We used this idea in place of the unity candle. They both symbolize the joining of a man and woman in marriage. However, what I really like about this special sand filled vase, is that it is something we can keep and display in our house. It reminds me each time I see it of the vows I said at our wedding and the importance of our marriage. Even more importantly, God being the center of our marriage.

We chose colors that were neutral so that they would go with any style our house may have. I also love the vase that we chose to display it in.

Here we are at our wedding ceremony, filling the vase. We filled the vase in layers. Mackenzie would put some sand in, then I would follow, and so on.

The song you hear right now on the music player, is the song that was playing during the Unity Sand and Communion! It is called "Only You" by David Crowder Band.

I hope you enjoyed sharing in this very special part of our union a Husband and Wife!

I'm sorry for not posting yesterday! I had very busy days both Wednesday and Thursday and only had time to check out your blogs! That's just life for keeping us busy! Have a blessed weekend!

Show and Tell Friday

This is my first time participating in "Show and Tell Friday" hosted over at Kelli's blog, There's No Place Like Home

This is one of my favorite plants to use as decoration in our home. It is called the Silver Dollar Plant, also known as "the money plant"and I'm sure many of you have seen it before.

This of course is a faux plant that I have in our house but it does grow in the wild.

I love the beautiful simplicity it gives. It really can match with any color, due to it's iridescent white color.

I also have it in two other vases throughout our home. I just love it so much! :) Hope you enjoyed our special decoration!
Have a blessed day!
