unity candles
Matrimonial flame merger
Unity candles are a wedding ceremony element where the bride and groom each take a lit taper and together light a single larger candle, symbolizing the joining of two individuals or families into one union.
The individual tapers are sometimes lit by the mothers of the couple before being handed off.
After lighting the unity candle, they extinguished their individual flames.
