it's a wonderful idea. However as a Catholic I have to use a unity candle, cause the flame represents the light of Jesus... You get the idea.

Actually the Unity candle is a secular tradition, you are not required to do this. Some Catholic churches do not even allow this.

It showed up about 30-40 years ago and has been adopted into the current culture. It is not a required part of the Catholic liturgy or Nuptial Mass, but some churches allow it.
