Alternative Unity Ceremony.

Tradition has it that when a couple tie the knot, they’ll either light a candle or pour sand into a glass bottle to symbolise the two becoming one. It’s a tad overdone and to be honest, a little cheesy. The unity ceremony should reflect your personality so if tradition doesn’t cut it out for you, think about who you are as a couple and start your life as Mr. and Mrs. with a bang. If it’s art you’re into, create an abstract painting in your favourite colours and display it in your marital home or if you both like a good drink, party it up by mixing your own signature cocktail. It can be as wacky and original as you want it to be – one couple even put together a sandwich and took a bite to signify their union. Put on your thinking hats and get creative.
