There are also other rituals you can include for celebrating your marriage ceremony. Rituals  like: processional (the entrance of the bride and groom), blessings, readings from scripture or literature, family or community vows of unity ,exchange of wedding rings, a first kiss as married couple and a recessional. Some couples include also in their ceremony marriage an old but divine tradition: unity candle or other unity traditions like rose ceremony, wine ceremony, water ceremony, sand ceremony, salt ceremony, breaking bread ceremony, garland ceremony or lei ceremony, circling, broom jumping, lasso ceremony or the update. Despite the fact not all these traditions are called unity tradition, they still emphasize the unity of the couple. But, the most often included tradition in ceremony it’s unity candle. I’d like to write in few words the significance of this tradition because I’m sure it will wake up your interest.

The groom and the bride each take a lit candle and in the same time they light a third larger candle called the “unity candle”. You need three candles. They can blow out their individual candles or can leave them to light. This means that they haven’t lost their individuality in their unity. Nowadays, stores are selling very elaborate unity candle including also a candelabre that holds the central candle to light higher than the others two. You can also order unity candle personalized with your names and the wedding’s date. In this manner you’ll have a nice memory. There is also a variation from this ritual: all guests have a candle and first guests lit it and than pass the flame until all the candles are lit. Finally, the bride and the groom light together their unity candle. This means that family and friends are supporting the couple’s marriage. For this moment, which it's not very short, there are lots of examples of wedding songs but you must pick a slow melody with touch melting lyrics.
