Unity candles have become a symbolic tradition of what the wedding ceremony is all about. The bride and groom are instructed to take the taper candles and together light the larger candle, often personalized, to represent two becoming one, a family. This candle becomes a keepsake.
Like your wedding cake top, which is to be enjoyed on your one year anniversary, should you be successful in keeping if from getting freezer burn (this for yet another blog) you can once again enjoy lighting your candle. Don’t fall asleep or step away because now your keepsake has melted away.
I love this alternative to the wax version, the oil unity candle. The vessel can be personalized as well but can be lit year after year, even if you should be preoccupied and forget it is burning. http://www.weddingdepot.com
