Unity Ceremonies - The Traditional
Candles and sand and braiding, oh my! Unity ceremonies usually take place within a wedding ceremony, as a physical symbol of the joining of two people. The trend in Unity Ceremonies comes from the tradition of handfasting in Great Britain where couples pledged to each other by joining each other's right hands together and then left hands together, to create an infinity symbol with their arms. Another form of handfasting is a Celtic tradition in which the hands of the couple are literally bound in ribbon or rope while their vows are read as a show of the couple being bound together.
