My FI and I can't seem to decide which ceremony is best for us. I've always wanted a unity candle, however, I would like something that we could display and not something that will end up stuck in a box somewhere. My FI liked the idea of the sand and the fact that we could display it on our mantle afterwards as a constant reminder of the promise we make. (Sweet, right?)
So, to compromise, I found this idea where you could engrave a glass vase and use a floating candle. The church doesn't automatically include it, but we are more than welcome to incorporate it into the ceremony.
How did you decide as well as keep the budget in mind?
