Unity Candle Song

While my husband and I lit our unity candle during our ceremony, we had a friend sing a unity candle song. It was actually the song, "There Is Love". We felt that it would take too long and might bore the guests if they had to sit through a solo and then sit through us lighting our unity candle too.

We had our friend sing while we lit the candles. Then we just stood facing each other by the candle and waited for the solo to finish. When she finished the unity candle song, we went back over to the pastor, who continued the ceremony.

It worked well and cut the ceremony by at least 5 minutes. It also looked very romantic for us to stare into each other's eyes while we listened to beautiful music. It was a great ceremony and a great day.
