Unity Candles?

What exactly are these? Are they just used or needed when u are getting married in a church? If not, do I need to get them if Im getting married at my RH???

Unity Candles is a non religious tradition where there is one main candle and 2 taper candles where 1 represents you, 1 represents your FH and the main candle is lit by the you each holding the 2 taper candles which symbolizes 2 becoming 1. =)

Its not something you have to do, its personal choice. They also have a similar thing using sand instead of candles. And yes you can DEF do it if your getting married at your RH.

It's not a religious thing just something sometimes done at weddings to symbolize you're union as a married couple. I think it is particularly nice lighting the unity candles esp. at a RH wedding. You can also get all kinds online for under 30$.
