Need A Blessing For A Beach Wedding!!

I want to include our guest in our beach wedding in Hatteras NC in October. I was thinking doing a "shell blessing" where shells are blessed and given to everyone to make a wish upon before throwing them into the sea.....
Problem is that I cannot find such a blessing anywhere in books or the internet.
Can someone please help.

Here is everything you ever wanted to know about blessing stones. During the ceremony the couple are asked to take a stone; the tray(s) of stones are then passed to all of the guests. After the couple is pronounced husband and wife everyone follows them to the edge of the water and makes a wish or blessing. The couple counts to three together and everyone casts the stones into the water. The ripples that are made represent the love and good wishes , not only for the couple but for all the world..as our ripples cross and recross one another, so do our love and good wishes touch and retouch all around us and those whom we come into contact with. ( some couples opt. To use small seashells). I personally are going to use what is called seaglass, which is really colorful.
