11 best family unity candles

Family unity candles are a popular tradition in weddings, particularly in Western cultures. They symbolize the coming together of two families through the union of the couple getting married. These candles are typically handmade or specially designed for the wedding ceremony and hold significant sentimental value.

Here's how the family unity candle ceremony typically works:

  1. Candle Setup: There are usually three candles involved in the ceremony: one large center candle (the unity candle) and two smaller side candles. The two smaller candles are often referred to as the family candles.

  2. Beginning of the Ceremony: At the start of the wedding ceremony, the mothers or other family members of the couple often light the two smaller family candles, representing the individual families of the bride and groom.

  3. During the Ceremony: Later in the ceremony, after the exchange of vows and rings, the bride and groom take the lit family candles and together use them to light the larger unity candle in the center. This action symbolizes the joining of their two families into one through their marriage.

  4. Extinguishing the Family Candles: The couple may choose to blow out or extinguish the smaller family candles, signifying the end of their separate lives and the beginning of their new life together as a married couple.

The family unity candle ceremony is a beautiful way to include family members in the wedding and emphasize the idea that marriage is not just a union of two individuals but also a joining of two families.It's a visually symbolic representation of this union and is often accompanied by music or readings that further reinforce the sentiment.

Couples may choose to personalize their family unity candle ceremony by selecting candles that reflect their wedding theme, incorporating meaningful decorations or engravings, or even writing their own vows or words to be spoken during the lighting of the candles. Ultimately, it's a heartfelt and meaningful tradition that adds a special touch to the wedding ceremony.
