Notice that the Bride and Groom’s candles are half candles, each with a wick that when lighted and joined, the flames are also united into one. The candle sleeve that the minister slides down over their joined halves, represents God joining this couple together. As the candle burns, the melted wax bonds the three candle parts – Groom, Bride and God – together. This candle is also a wonderful complement to Anniversaries and Recommitment of Vows ceremonies.
