I am in need of some creative influence! I am getting married in a Christian chapel in September. I love the idea of the reverse unity candle because it involves every guest and I love that everyone is connected. However, the church will not allow 160 candles due to fire hazard and recent renovations. I have tried to find some other unity ceremony ideas that involve the guests but am finding that nothing really speaks to me and my fiancé's personalities. I've heard of the ring and stone blessings but I have been to a wedding where the rings were passed around and it felt awkward and interrupted the flow of the ceremony, in my opinion. The bride and groom had to step down from the alter and walk up and down the isles. I've also read the idea of the call and response where the guests have to repeat "we do" "we will" but it always just sounds like a bunch of zombies (again just my opinion).
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to involve the guests in our ceremony?
