The idea of a sand ceremony with an hourglass is wonderful!

I discovered a romantic wedding performance from overseas＊

It's an idea for the bride and groom to have a sand ceremony using an hourglass♡

Sand ceremonies are usually conducted with large bottles or frames, but

the idea of using an hourglass is quite rare◎

The hourglass symbolizes the past, present, and future＊

The idea of holding a sand ceremony with an hourglass has a meaningful significance◎

The sand before it falls represents the past, the narrow middle part represents the present, and the fallen sand represents the future.

This means that the accumulation of past experiences has led to the present, and it symbolizes the desire to walk together in the future as well＊

Don't you think that's a very romantic meaning?♡

Moreover, the hourglass can be flipped to mark time indefinitely, which also conveys the idea of wanting to spend forever together＊
