So in talking to a friend this week I mentioned that FI and I are meeting with the chaplain tonight. He said he wanted to go over the ceremony wording and finish up with a counseling session and prayer. In our conversation, she started asking about all the unity traditions and she is actually confused as to why we aren't having them.
"Are you having a unity candle?" no
"Are you doing the unity sand?" no
"Are you doing the knot tying?" no
"You aren't doing any unity ceremony at all!".....um except the whole vows and promises and legally binding paperwork.
We are keeping the ceremony as it, but now I'm honestly curious. How many people did/did not do these? Any reasons?
