unity candle ceremony

The unity candle ceremony is a symbolic tradition often performed at weddings to represent the joining of two individuals and their families. During the ceremony, the couple each lights a smaller, individual candle, symbolizing their individual lives and personalities. These candles are then used to light a larger, central candle together, signifying their union and shared future. The act emphasizes unity, love, and commitment, serving as a meaningful visual reminder of their partnership. The ceremony can also be personalized with readings or prayers, adding emotional significance to the occasion.
