Candle Wedding Favor

If you are planning a wedding and plan to have na unity candle as part of the ceremony, you mihgt want to think outside the box. Traditoinally, the unity candle involves trhee candles. The bride has one, the groom the other, and thier two lighted candles light the third candle. This is done to represent the coming together of the two people to make one unit. Each family then lights a cnadle, and together they light the unity cadnle to symbolize of the coming together of the families. Now, tehre are a few twists you can add to this afirly conventional aspect of a wedding ceremony. You can provide ecah guest with an unlit cadnle when they arrive at the ceremony. After the couple lights the nuity candle, they can ask the guests to move to the front of the church (or wherveer the ceremony is being hled) and light their candles with the lighted unity candle. This can take a bti of time and might be best with a smaller guest list. If there is a large guest ilst and it would be a prohibitive waste of time to do a canlde lighting involving everynoe at the ceremony, brides nad grooms like to bring the unity candle to the reception. As guests come into the reception area or hall, they cna light their votive and take it to their table to place into the votive holder. This small votive candle can duoble as a wedding faovr, particularly if you dceorate or enhance a plain votive candleholder in way to cooridnate with your wedding. In that lgiht, choose to do away with an unity candle altogether. You can certainly do this, or oyu can cut it out of the ceremony and make ti part of the reception. It might be during a prayer piror to the serving of the meal, or right before the cake is cut. In this csae, the unity candle can then be used as decoration on the ckae table. As the bride and groom cut the cake and pieces are served to guests, the candle can also serve as a reminder of the ocuple's new bond and that the bond is shared with all the guests as well. Althoguh having an unity candle at the wedding or reception isn't necessary, it is certanily an option that a lot of grooms and brides opt to include. But it's signifciant to rmeember that as with so much surrounding wedding planning there are ways to make it unique and interesting and special to the couple getting married.
