Tip of the Day: One popular way to add meaning to your wedding ceremony is to light a unity candle. Basically, its a tall candle that stands, unlit, between two smaller, lit candles during the ceremony. One of these smaller candles is placed in the bride's side and the other is on the groom's side. After you are pronounced husband and wife, you each take your respective candle, meet at the Unity Candle and light it with your joined flames.
Some brides and grooms choose to light the Unity Candle on their own, while others have parents and other members of their families join them. For those couples marrying for the second time, it is an especially appropriate way to include children from their first marriages in the ceremony and to acknowledge the uniting of two families as one.
