Candle light during a wedding ceremony usually produces an ambience that is so very serene.  The flicker of orange flames seems to dance back and forth then up and down like a spineless object. Everything seems to point to the fact that families are being brought together and two separate lives are uniting into one.

 

The Corinthians wedding unity candle has the ability to set the tone of your wedding ceremony.  Inscribed with the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 with a cross and two interlocking rings, this unity candle is the perfect accessory to add to your religious wedding.

 

Your love will never end throughout the years to come as you cherish the effect of the Corinthians unity candle. Long live the beautiful bride and her handsome groom!

An Innovative Guest Book

A  wedding guest signature book is one with ruled pages designed with special spaces for different kinds of information.  The information that is normally requested is the name of the guest along with his/her address and a telephone number. 

That was the information that was familiar to me.  I had no knowledge of the instant photo guest book that takes a Polaroid picture of the guest who is busy writing a message to the couple. Everyone writes their message and good wishes on the page while their photo develops.  This fun and interactive keepsake is the perfect way to capture your memories forever!  So, go ahead and have fun, the memories will last a lifetime.

It is such a nice feeling that the young man and woman will exchange wedding vows and then be swept away in a fairytale cloud of everlasting wedding bliss.  The reality is that on their way back from the honeymoon the real world starts to rear its ugly face.  This is really the time when this wonderful couple starts to draw from their years of solid upbringing.  All the lessons that were modeled by their parents will come back either gradually or like a flood that knows no boundary.

 

The single unity wedding candle that the couple lit during the ceremony was lit from two individual candles, representing the two families from which the couple came. Two families with maybe different cultural values and who sometimes come from different countries.  Yet, their children saw it fit to fall in love and marry each other regardless of the challenges that initially faced them. This, very often is the glue that helps to keep some couples together.  This is proof that families all over the world love and value their offsprings and care enough to model their values to them sometimes consciously or unconscientiously.  This is solid proof that the family unit is resilient and can bounce back after adversity.

Kay and Aaron had decided  against a big wedding with lots of guests and large expenses. They wanted instead a small gathering of their parents and siblings along with a few close friends.  Quite contrary to what some people believe about civil ceremonies, this one was nicely organized and quite informative.
Small containers of soapy liquid were given to all the guests who wanted to celebrate with Kay and Aaron by blowing bubbles on the steps of City Hall.

We drove to the couple’s backyard where tables were arranged and banners were tied to two big trees with the name of the couple along with the date of their wedding.  The food from the caterer was arranged in big containers on the porch.  It was great to see the creative use of portable wedding totes and coolers with the different assortment of drinks.  The reception was not too small or too big.  It was just right!

Pretty Flower Girl and her Basket

The handsome little boy with the ring pillow walked up the isle and took his assigned place at the altar; then the flower girl with the sparkling flower girl basket approached just as the white bridal carpet was rolled from the door to the altar.  She daintily reached into her basket and gently extracted a handful of rose petals and proceeded to scatter them along the path the bride would walk shortly.  She scattered more and more rose petals until she had almost exhausted the contents of her basket.  She also took her assigned spot at the altar.A pretty little girl with a stepped hastily through the door ringing a bell and shouted “the bride is coming, the bride is coming” as she made her way up the isle to take her assigned position. 

The organ roared and the congregation stood with their face to the door.  The bride and her dad had approached the door and had just started to proceed on their seemingly long journey to the altar.  The bride was young beautiful and smiling through her lacy veil that was elegantly cut to fit her long train that followed gracefully behind.

My sister Joanne has always had exquisite taste in her clothes and accessories.  It was not surprising when she announced that she wanted special stands for the unity candles that would be used in her wedding.  On the day of her wedding it was quite a delightful sight to behold as the bride and groom used their already lit unity candles to light the unity candle that was a symbol of the uniting of two separate families into one.

 

The unity candles were still burning brightly as they were carefully placed in the wells of the unity candle stands.  The stands glistened as they reflected the light that bounced from one to the other.  The floral arrangement around the lit candles made quite an impression. The photographer aimed and shot one pose after the other as the couple followed by the bridal party filed into the vestry for the signing of the register. Cheers to my sister the beautiful bride!
