10/24/10: Sand colors: purple, blue, red, green - bride, groom,
groom's 11 & 12 yr. old sons - mix sands together into a large, glass
mason jar; boys take out their pocket watches and announce the
finishing time for pouring the sand, marking the start of their new
family. Brings tears to several on-looking male family members. So
perfect a ritual for this "new family". At Edgefield, McMenamin's in
Troutdale. Also: composed grandmas reading "words of advice" - quite
the speakers!
