Unity Candle SongsIf you're lighting a unity candle in your wedding ceremony, this page has some unity candle songs for your review.
The unity candle symbolizes the couple becoming as one. After jointly lighting the unity candle, often the bride and groom will then extinguish their individual flame. However, some couples choose to leave their individual flame lit, indicating that they are retaining their individuality amidst their union. Whichever way you choose, if lighting a unity candle is to be part of your ceremony, you’d better think about some unity candle songs—unless you want awkward silence during this time!
Did I hear you say that you don't want awkward silence? Smart answer! Read on........ Actually, the lighting of the unity candle is a common spot where special music is inserted. In general, unity candle songs are gentle and somewhat reflective in nature and can be performed instrumentally or vocally. As always, the songs are suitable for other parts of the wedding as well but do qualify nicely as unity candle songs.
By the way, if you are not lighting a unity candle, these songs are also appropriate for other places in the ceremony where you want to insert music. Such places include before or after readings, after the vows are exchanged, after a prayer, and during communion.
