Lighting a Unity Candle

Imaging as the ceremony begins both mothers walk forward as representatives of their respective families as soft music plays in the background. They each light a single candle, then return to their places.

After exchanging your wedding vows, you each pick up the candle your mother lit. Then together both flames unite to create one flame, a light to guide you, a flame to warm you, a love light to unite you. The wedding bands are brought forward and they are exchanged.
