Unity Candle Ceremony 2

---

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven.
And when two souls who are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single, brighter light goes forth from their united being.
In this spirit, bride and groom, take your individual candles and light together a third candle which signifies your marital bond.

May the light of love, and the light of understanding, and the light of respect, and the light of tolerance shine eternally for you both.
