I think it depends on the church. My church allowed us to have one but my SIL was not allowed. I bought my unity candle at Fortunoff

I know in the tradition catholic ceremony its not a part of it..some churches allow it and some do not. You should ask your church. Good luck

Are you doing the full mass? We are getting married in a Catholic church and just doing a ceremony not a mass.

It depends on the church and the person performing the ceremony. I bought my unity candle at AC Moore.

Our ceremony was interfaith & at the hall, so I don't know about church rules ...

We got our unity candle holder set at BBB


But I didn't like the candles it came with, so I got special ones, they are made by Beverly Clark. Ours were ivory.

We are only doing a ceremony and not a full mass...we are doing a candle lighting too.

I think I like something like this...

Ours allowed it but as some girls said it depends on the church, some dont allow it. My candles were bought at Michaels and a friends made it.

I had no idea some churches restricted them either. Every ceremony I have been to has had a unity candle...I have to ask my church about this now!

Most chuches allow it - I think it is considered you blowing out your candle that was used at your baptism and lighting a new one with your husband as one
