Making an inclusion of the unity candles in your wedding arrangements is something worth doing. But ahead of doing this, you should know that not everything should be done the same. This means that you need not think like every other wedding planner. Think a bit different from others.
It is habitual for the unity candle to combine of three different parts. One should be for the bride. The second should be for the groom and the third and last should be for both the bride and the groom. Remember that having both of them light one candle is a symbol of uniting their love together. You can make the lighting of the candle a bit different from what is normal. This should be an inclusion of the whole family members. Each family member will be required to light up his or her candle and this will be used to light up the unity candle. Keep in mind that this is also a way to be a symbol of uniting the bride and the groom's family.
If you want to make the event look extraordinary, there are some features that you can include in the activity. Ahead of lighting the unity candle, every invitee should be offered a candle. When the newly wedded have lit their candles, the entire guest will light their candles from this. Remember that this can be very convenient when only a small guest is present. But the idea at the back of this is to let the world know that not only is there unity between the bride and the groom, but there is unity between family and friends.
If the guest is large, you can decide to devise another simple method. After the unity candle has been lit, it can be placed at a convenient place such as the entrance of the hall and every guest will be provided with a small candle to light from this larger candle.
There are some brides who will think of something completely opposite from the above. This is envisaged when the issue of time is put under discussion. Some people will consider timing to be of utmost importance. They view the process of lighting the unity candle and enjoining others to take part in the process to be a waste of time. If you are of the same opinion as them, you should omit the lighting of the unity candle. There is no problem in this so far as it is a matter of your own deciding. You can decide that the candle will be lighted at a certain but pious moment within the wedding ceremony. You can decide that this should be done at the time of the cutting of the cake.
There are so many alternatives to this. The issue at stake is that there should be a symbolism of unity. Remember that it is not an obligation that a unity candle must be lighted at every wedding ceremony. Your main concern should be to come up with something that will be interesting to your wedding.
