This will take the unity candle tradition and add a very personal touch by interacting with your family and making it a true joining of families.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you personalize your unity candle ceremony?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightlyphoto.com\/\" target=\"_self\">Lightly Photography<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unity ceremony is a symbol of not only the bride and groom joining together, but it symbolizes the families uniting together in support of the upcoming marriage and future. \u00a0To add a special touch to this tradition I have &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/2009\/07\/parents-flower-ceremony\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[113,123],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wedding-ceremony","category-wedding-planning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1979"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2734,"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1979\/revisions\/2734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bubblybride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
