ETERNAL UNITY PACKAGE
Imagine celebrating your beautiful wedding or vow renewal by honoring the spiritual union of two souls, with our Eternal Unity Wedding or Vow Renewal Package. The Eternal Unity Ceremony is also the perfect opportunity to invite and include the children that will be joining the new family. It will emphasize the importance and unique qualities that each child brings to this new blended family unit.
The Eternal Unity Wedding Package includes two combined ceremonies – your choice of wedding ceremony or vow renewal script, AND added to that, the choice of one of our Eternal Unity ceremonies.
We offer THREE distinct and meaningful Unity ceremonies from which to choose:
1. The Hawaiian Sand Ceremony is the perfect complement to a beach wedding or vow renewal, and is our most popular unity ceremony. Bride and Groom scoop sand from beneath one another’s feet to symbolize their individuality, and then pour their sand together into a heart-shaped vessel to signify the intermingling of their two separate lives into one new unit, indivisible. The sand and heart-shaped vessel are yours to keep as a memento of your special day and a reminder that your two lives are now eternally one. If either or both of you bring children into the marriage, they can also be included and will have the opportunity to scoop sand from beneath the feet of the bride and groom and add it to the center container, representing that they too are eternally linked in this newly formed family.
2. The Rose Unity Ceremony is another beautiful, deeply meaningful and moving unity option. For centuries roses have been used as an unspoken love language. The single red rose means simply “I love you.” In the Rose Unity Ceremony, the Bride and Groom present one another with a single perfect rose. The officiant then encourages the couple to choose a place for roses in the home they will share. That way, when they face difficult times and can’t find the right words to express feelings like “I am hurting,” “I am sorry,” or “I forgive you,” they can leave a rose to remind their partner of how great their love still is for them, even in the midst of struggle. If the new family will be welcoming their children into the union, each child will also receive a rose from the bride and groom, reminding them that they are cherished members of the new family unit.
3. The Candle Unity Ceremony uses a pure flame to symbolize the unity of two lives. The bride and groom each light the other’s candle, and then the two use their candles, representative of their individuality, to light a larger pillar candle, representing the combining of their lives as one. Children who are to be a part of the couple’s household may also be included in this ceremony. This moving ceremony can be performed at any INDOOR location. (Outdoor weddings are not conducive to the lighting of unity candles, as our ever-present sea breezes extinguish the flames immediately. For OUTDOOR weddings or vow renewals, please choose either the Hawaiian Sand Unity or Rose Unity ceremony.)
The eternal unity ceremony you choose will be incorporated into the wedding ceremony of your choice.
