For a lot of couples, especially those who don?t identify with a particular religion, deciding on what type of wedding ceremony to have can be daunting. And yes, you totally can just google wedding ceremony script or rely on your officiant to do the writing, but you want it to feel meaningful because it is meaningful. You can always look to your heritage for interesting wedding traditions. Talk to your parents or grandparents and see if they know of a tradition that they can share. After all, that?s what a wedding ceremony is all about, the two of you becoming family. Over the years, we?ve seen some really cool wedding ceremony rituals, here are a few that you can add to your ceremony to give it that personal touch.

As far as wedding ceremony rituals go, this one is pretty popular and can work for just about any type of ceremony. Plus, it?s super easy to organize (which always helps). All you need is one beautiful center candle and two smaller candles. During the ceremony, the officiant or a member from either side of the family will light your individual tapered candles. Then, when prompted, the two of you will light the ?unity candle? together, forever combining two flames into one. Pro Tip: Use a glass hurricane candleholder for your unity candle so it doesn?t blow out, shall we say, unceremoniously.
