Option 1

Lighting a Unity Candle.  Today we have three candles. One representing _bridename_ , one representing _groomname_ and one larger candle representing the family unit that they are creating by their marriage. You can now each  (Mothers/Children/Friends ) light one of the smaller candles and then pass them to _groomname_  & _bridename_ who will together light the larger candle.  _groomname_  & _bridename_ in the lighting of these candles together you are symbolizing the creating of a stronger brighter light that will shine forth for all the world to see. Your marriage today and your growth together as a family will forever shine as your love for each other grows.
