For those who do not know the significance of the unity sand is a representation of two separate lives now being joined as one. They are openly told that they have decided to join their lives together. The separate lives that they have been living is represented by sand vials. They are reminded of the meaning of the sand being the previous experiences and experiences they will have from there on in their lives together. The couple is told to blow the sand. Thereafter the two sand vials are assembled showing that they are no longer two but one and they will be joined together to make one. The unity sand is a pointer to the couple that has decided to be one. They are then requested to return to the position they were before they approached the sand table.
