How do I include my stepmom without offending my mother?

Hi there! I am newly engaged, and new to these here fancy message boards.  I've been wracking my brain about this particular problem and haven't been able to come up with anything.  Are there any other brides out there who have it figured out?  My mother is going to light my unity candle, and I don't think it's right to ask my stepmom to do that with her.  My stepmom didn't come into my life until I was 17 years old.  I love her, and I want her to feel part of my special day, but I don't want to take away from my mom's spotlight either.  My stepmom has already said that she doesn't want to speak at all, because she gets nervous in front of crowds, so I was wondering what ideas might be out there... help!!
