Unity Candle Wedding Ceremonies


The Unity Candle is a very traditional wedding event. A candle ceremony is not recommended to be done outside since the candles will not stay lit.

During a Unity Candle wedding ceremony you can have someone special light the outside candles (example: some have both Mothers walk up together and light the outside candles). These candles represent the separate lives, families and experiences before the wedding day. After the exchange of vows, but before the exchange of rings the bride and groom take each side candle and light the unity candle together, uniting the families and experiences into one.

The wedding ceremony verbage for a unity candle can be the following, or a personalized unity candle ceremony can be created by you:

SAMPLE UNITY CANDLE WEDDING VOWS

"BRIDE and GROOM, the two separate candles symbolize your separate lives, separate families and separate sets of friends. Please light the candles and that together you light the center candle.

The individual candles represent your lives before today. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining together of your two families and sets of friends to one."
