Unity Candle

If you are doing a ceremony in a catholic church do you use the unity candle?

Can you do it during a ceremony do you know. i don't want the full mass. I am limited on time because it gets dark early during the time of year I am getting married.

i wouldn't see why not...im doing a full mass but the candle is usually lit after the exchange of rings...each church is a little different but all basically in the same spot

Thanks. I am going to ask the priest before I invest in the candles.

The Unity Candle is an optional part of the mass or ceremony so it's totally up to you if you want to include it. We included it in ours because I just love what it symbolizes.

Here is a pic of ours:
