Hi Everyone!
Me and my FH aren't doing a unity candle, but we'd like a way to include our moms in the ceremony.  I like that the moms usually go up and light the candles, but neither of us are into a unity candle. Can anyone think of another way to include them in the ceremony?
Thanks!

    Some ceremonies do a "gift" or rose giving to honor the parents. But other then that there really isn't a whole lot that I have seen done besides candles, sand (which is basically the same as candle), and the gifts.

    We did a rose ceremony at our ceremony.  We gave roses to our moms and our grandmothers.

    I saw something on Four Weddings I thought was really cute.  The officiant said:  "Before the bride and groom share their first kiss as married persons, it should only be fair for them to receive their last kiss as single people from the person who gave them their first kiss: their mothers. " 

    I'm super close to my mom so seeing this brought a tear to my eye.  I just found it so touching and personal and yet so fitting.
