Beautiful outline... NOTE that the unity candle is OPTIONAL. presentation to the blessed mother is OPTIONAL...many do that after the unity candle, but it can also be done after communion. Presentation to Parents (usually a flower or some sort) is OPTIONAL and doesn't have to be done.
I did the unity candle and then the presentation to my parents was done after communion right before we did the presentation to the blessed mother.
