Unity candles are a huge wedding tradition that is seen in most wedding ceremonies. The unity candle may symbolize different things for different types of ceremonies.
A single unity candle is used in a ceremony to symbolize the uniting of the bride and groom. The unity candle is lit during a special portion of the wedding ceremony together by the bride and groom. In cases where there are three unity candles, the families of the bride and groom are included in the lighting of the unity candles. Typically in wedding ceremonies, the mother of the bride will light one candle, and the mother of the groom will light another candle before the entry of the bride. The bride and groom then light their unity candle during the ceremony.
The unity candle lit by the married couple will be kept for years to come.
