The Unity Candle Ceremony symbolic part of the wedding ceremony. The lighting of the candles symbolizes the union of husband, wife and their families.
The unity candle set is two taper candles and a large candle. The candles are usually placed in a candelabra. The larger of the three which is called the unity candle is placed where the ceremony will be taken place. Then the couple will take one of the taper candles each and they will light the large unity candle together which will symbolize the unity of their new lives together.
Have your parents take part in the ceremony with you. Have each one of your parents light the unity candles with you to symbolize the new union of families.
The groom can also light one of the tapers before the ceremony, and after the bride is escorted in, her and her father can light the other taper to symbolize her fathers approval of the union.
If you have children it is a nice idea to have them help light the unity candle.
When lighting the unity candle you should let your photographer and videographer know where and when that way you can get the best pictures possible of the unity ceremony.
