Unity ceremonies have been a part of weddings for as long as they have existed. Here are some pointers to find the unity ceremony that is right for you.

Start by researching. Most are familiar with the concept of unity candles and sand ceremonies, but few know about rose ceremonies, knot tying ceremonies, or hand fasting. Find a unity ceremony that takes who you are as a couple, and reflects it in your wedding. You may decide not to have a unity ceremony. That’s fine! Use those additional resources on thing that are more important to you.

Unity ceremonies are a great way to involve more family. Involving kids, parents, or even grandparents into a ceremony is easily accomplished, is in keeping with modern times, and allows more of your family to take part in the ceremony itself.

You want your unity ceremony to speak to you as a couple. They get people involved, add a dynamic to your ceremony, and give you a memento of your special day. So, do research, see what fits you, and make your wedding extra meaningful by choosing a unity ceremony that best represents your new marriage!
