Working on my program...

And I am wondering if anyone has a description of the meaning of the unity candle to include? We are having an interfaith ceremony, so I am trying to incorporate brief explanations of things that may not be too familiar to one side or the other.

Any help is greatly appreciate...

P.S.-3 weeks to go!

Unity Candle Ceremony
'___________________ and ________________ the two lighted candies symbolize your separate lives, your separate families and your separate sets of friends. I ask that you each take one candle and that together you light the center candle. The individual candies represent your individual lives before today. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining together of your two families and sets of friends to one.'

Thanks!
