The eyes of the bride were glowing brightly when she lit her unity candle from her husband’s. The groom in turn assumed a leading role in giving light to his new wife. He had actually started his God given role of head of his family as well as provider and protector. He was obviously proud to be perceived by everyone as being in control.
The unity candle is strongly believed to be a symbol of family unity. It is the custom for the church to have three candles during the ceremony. The single unity candle is believed to be a symbol representing the newlyweds. Both the bride and groom together use their individual candles to light the single unity candle. Each candle that is used by the bride and groom to light the single candle represents their families. This is a classic model of getting things accomplished together as a family.
