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.
