| We all know that a wedding ceremony, inherently, is representative of two individuals becoming one couple and beginning (or continuing) a journey together. The vows, statement of intent, readings and all of the spoken words of a ceremony symbolize this union. But, did you know that there are many physical representations, rituals, and special ceremonies you can put into your special day to create an everlasting physical symbol of your union? |
Many couples opt for the Unity Candle ceremony (where two individual flames are united to become one, a flame representing the light of their journey together that should never be extinguished); or the Sand Ceremony (where a couple, or family, chooses a common vessel and different colors of sand - representative of the individual pouring. The premise is that, as long as it should take the couple or family to extract each individual particle of sand from the common vessel - that is as long as they should be together). However, there are many different and beautiful Unity Ceremonies that can reflect the unique relationship and love you share. From the Fisherman's Knot, to the Wine Box, to a tree planting, to a Celtic hand fasting… all these physical representations of your unique love can be part of your ceremony…. just ask your officiant!
