Unity Candle Poem

Here is the poem we used for our unity candle lighting-- we didnt time it right but my friend did it a few weeks later and it worked perfectly It might seem long but it really wasnt Laura Lighting of the Unity Candle Although death has separated us physically from those who have gone before us, faith and love have bound us eternally. Though we cannot see you, we know you are here. Though we cannot touch you, we feel the warmth of your smile, as we begin a new chapter in our lives. Today we pause to reflect upon those who have shaped our character, molded our spirits and touched our hearts. May the lighting of this candle be a reminder of the memories we have shared, a representation of the everlasting impact you have made upon our lives. The lighting of the Unity Candle symbolizes the beginning of Laura and Jeremy’s marriage relationship and commitment to each other. The lights of the smaller candles represent the faith, wisdom, and love they have received from their parents. Jeremy and Laura will light the center candle to symbolize the union of their lives together. As this one light burns undivided, so shall their love be one. May these candles burn brightly as symbols of your commitment to each other, and as a tribute to your parents' lasting and loving marriages.

Unity Candle Prayer May the blessing of light, Be with you always, Light without and light within. And may the sun shine Upon you and warm your heart Until it glows Like a great fire So that others may feel The warmth of your love For one another.

Unity Candle Poem *Laura*

That is so beautiful!! Who reads this, the priest? Is this something you can do if you're just having a ceremony - do you have to specifically request it?. Please let me know (I haven't gotten to this part yet).

What we did

You can do this during a ceremonty or mass -- we had my cousin do it-- it can be anyone you deem 'special'-- just remember to plan it better than we did Laura
