A unity ceremony is a unique demonstration of commitment and makes a truly memorable wedding experience. While there are basic requirements to make a wedding ceremony legal depending on your destination, a unity ceremony personalizes this essential part of your destination wedding. A unity ceremony symbolizes the joining together of "two into one". "Two" can represent the bride and groom or their two families.Here are some examples of destination wedding unity ceremonies: Unity Candle Ceremony A unity candle ceremony is perfect for an indoor wedding ceremony, perhaps in a church or castle for example.Traditionally this ceremony consists of two taper candles that are used simultaneously to light a central pillar candle.Family members can light the taper candles early in the ceremony, or the bride and groom can light each taper candle and then jointly light the central pillar candle.Each stage of the candle lighting can be accompanied by verses expressing the union of two into one.Alternatively, a vocalist can sing a love song while the unity candle ceremony is performed. Unity Sand Ceremony A unity sand ceremony is the perfect unity candle alternative for a beach wedding. While candles can be affected by the natural elements such as wind, a unity sand ceremony is much more practical and creates a decorative result.To execute the unity sand ceremony, select three decorative glass vases and place one color of sand into one vase and the second color of sand into the second vase.These two vases, representing the bride and groom, are poured into a third vase.The groom pours a portion of his sand into the third vase and the bride follows by pouring a portion of her sand on top of the groom's.The bride and groom then conclude by jointly pouring the remaining sand in each of their vases into the central vase.The mixing of the colored sand is a decorative demonstration of two becoming one, and a great keepsake. Unity Tree Ceremony Be it an oak or birch, a unity tree ceremony is great for a garden, tent, or "green" wedding.The tree is representative of the new family being established and the bride and groom can watch it grow over the years in celebration of their marriage. To execute this ceremony, the bride and groom select a decorative pot preferably complementing their wedding colors, theme, or destination.At the chosen point in the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom jointly plant a baby tree, each adding soil to the pot.Baby trees can be ordered through a flower shop or gardener.Once the bride and groom return home, their "family tree" can be replanted in their yard.
