Unity Candle

Some couples have the lighting of the Unity Candle Ceremony at the church during their wedding. The candles represent the lives of the bride and groom as individuals prior to their union in marriage. The unity candle lit by the bride and groom from the candles lit earlier by the parents of the wedding couple represent the union of the two families. Lighting the center candle known as the unity candle represents that two lives are now being joined together as one.
