The idea of a sand ceremony is something I truly want to do and some of these readings are amazing. I love writing so I'm going to see if I can come up with a beautiful reading. These are awesome ladies.
I don't think it's tacky. It's your wedding and you have to do ONLY what works for you and your honey. I'm not inviting a heap load of folks to my wedding due to the fact that I can't afford to and even if I could I've been down that road already.
