Unity Candle Ceremony

Yes I know that. We are also doing the sand ceremony. We wanted to try and incorporate something different for both our bestfriends and mother and his aunt to be apart of. I thought maybe the unity candle. Our best friends lighing the tapers. And my mother and his aunt lighting the unity candle together joining our families together and showing that they fully support us. Seeing if anyone else has done this ceremony differently like this

I like the idea of showing that you are bringing your two families together -- not just the two of you. A total side note, but I once saw a unity candle ceremony that was kind of creepy. Once the couple lit the pillar candle, the groom blew his candle out and then blew the bride's candle out. I did not love the symbolism of that.
