There are plenty of ways to make your wedding ceremony special, from personalized vows to a thoughtful music playlist. But if you're looking for a heartfelt way to customize the formal portion of your big day, consider including a unity ceremony to honor your marriage. Unity ceremonies are meaningful rituals performed during your wedding to represent becoming a union. A unity ritual is certainly not required by any means, but there may be a ceremony option that's the perfect fit for you and your partner, whether you're looking for something religious, historical, or secular. Often, a unity ceremony allows for other family members to participate as well, furthering its meaning and representation of two families joining together.
You might be familiar with common wedding unity ideas, like lighting a candle or pouring sand, but you aren't limited to these options. In fact, there are plenty of creative wedding unity ceremonies that will personalize your big day.
