Song Suggestions for Lighting the Unity Candle

My FI and I are looking for a song to play while we are lighting the unity candle.  We are having a non traditional ceremony. I was thinking something like "Have a Little Faith" by John Haitt but I am not sure if that makes sense to play at that time. Do you ladies have any suggestions?

    We had a flute and harp duet so I just told them to pick a song...not even sure what it was.  Unity Candle lighting takes 2 minutes unless you are adding communion to it. 

    To answer your question: I would google "unity candle lighting songs" and see what pops up.

    Do you mean when you and your FI do the lighting or when the (whoever is lighting your tapers) is lighting them?  The only candles we had were the unity candles.  My g-ma and his mom lit our tapers and they did this to the song that they processed to.

    We did a communion after we lit our unity candle so we had a song but it was very short even with the communion.  I've played for weddings and have done a very short excerpt for those who do the unity candle only and I've also seen no music...I personally think if its just the unity candle then no you do not need a song.

    If you don't want a song, just have the officiant say their part about the candle while you are lighting it.  At our wedding, we did that, then DH went to the piano & sang a song for me.  That way we didn't have to stand there for 4 minutes gazing uncomfortably into each others eyes!
