I was looking for other posts incase this was already asked...Are you doing unity candle with mothers or you and your Groom? Im little undecided on this..I kinda like it with mothers lights the candle.

The mothers. The priest suggested it as a nice way to include them.

Second on the mothers...I want them to feel included!

My mother is deceased, so my grandpa (her dad) and FMIL are lighting our unity candle.

We're not doing one. We feel that the ceremony is uniting enough for us.

my mother passed on too...I was thinking having her cousin fill in for her since they were like sisters their whole lives. I think i like the mother's idea better.

We're doing one with the mothers. I didn't really want one - the whole ceremony is about unity, but FMIL got my mom all excited about it before even asking if we were having one (assumed we were because her other children did one). I can't tell my mom no without making her feel un-included.

Since both of our sisters are in the wedding party, so we'll have them light the candles. Then we're getting one of those Diamond Candles for the the one in the middle

Our mothers are lighting the candle, our priest suggested this as well.
They will also be presenting the gifts (we are having a full catholic ceremony)

At first we weren't going to do a unity candle because my FI has a step-mom & mom. He didn't want to have to pick who would light the candle. We talked to the preacher about it & he said that he likes to have the ushers light the candles when step parents are involved. So to my relief, yes we are doing one. Its something I remember my parents doing forever & they still do it every year on their anniversary.

We're mixed. I like the idea of including our moms in the ceremony. My FI is not really in favor (bc other elements of the ceremony makes this sort of redundant. I guess - but I like the tradition!) Our church has the same position as FI and actually discourages doing unity candles. We're meeting for the first time with our priest tonight and will ask more....
