Original check provides the appropriate comparison: Wedding rituals at a wedding ceremony are like the accessories for a perfect outfit – of course you can also do without them, but they complete the overall concept away. So why not tie a knot when you’re going to be away all the time anyway covenant of life speaks, or equip a suitcase, if your wedding decoration already perfectly matched to your favorite hobby?
Whether funky or subtle is of course a matter of taste. However, the marriage ritual should never in the foreground of the ceremony stand. It is just a design element that is subordinate to your story and only serves to stage it better. Yvonne from Be Bride I especially like the idea connect something symbolically. It always depends on the story of the bride and groom.

Light wedding candle:
Yvonne Lukowski White, the wedding candle is not just a wax structure that you light, but it should togetherness and love represent what one desires in marriage. This candle is lit by people who are important to the couple – for me it is often the mothers. Because it is the mums who embody the warmth and security in a family. There are very nice texts about the candle that explain the symbolism and make it much more than just a candle.
In this ritual, the bride and groom each have a jar full of sand, which they pour into a third jar to symbolize their bond. To make it clearer, the sand can have different colors. Also the children or other family members can be included in this ritual. Yvonne Lukowski explains that the ritual becomes especially important when the sand comes from the beach of the hometown that you left for love or that is now your new home together. Because tohome is where the heart lives. A common preference is being able to cook or garden spices instead of sand be used.
