A. Unity candles are a great addition to a
wedding ceremony. There are actually several ways to use them.
One way is to use them when the bride is given away. Her parents light her candle, his
parents light his then they light the large Unity candle together. This is an appropriate
time for music either recorded or live.
A second way is to have the candle and two tapers on an altar or pillars near the
couple...After the vows have been said both move to the candle and light it together,
either have someone special read a poem that is meaningful to you or use music at this
time. This would be followed by the exchange of rings.
It is also perfectly acceptable to do it right before the proclamation of
marriage...both sets of parents can be involved here as well.
Don't be afraid to create you own use of the Unity Candle...The bond of marriage has
unique gifts for each couple, so there is nothing wrong with making the ceremony unique as
well.
If you have any other question please feel free to contact us.
Congratulations and Good Luck
