My FI and I are not normal Church going people. We are not getting married in a church and not having a normal pastor marry us. We are having the Wedding outside and getting married by my uncle. We dont want to do a normal unity ceremony and we both really like the idea of the Unity Painting. The problem is I dont know how to word the ceremony. If anyone has any insight on how to word this I would greatly apperciate it. Thanks in advice!

    I've never heard of a unity painting. Where/how did you hear about it? I would think your source would have some information on any wording to go with it.

    Ive been all over the internet. I think someone just made it up one day to go along with their wedding. Basically its kinda like the sand ceremony how one combined the two elements can never be torn apart. I need wording to describe it and it be read through it. Im just not great at writting speech's.

    Wow. I had to Google this. Seems incredibly messy.

    I don't think the wording needs to be vastly different than any other non-religious type unity ceremony.

    I just made this up, adapted from a Sand ceremony I just saw at someone's wedding, but I guess your officiant would say something along the lines of...

    "Taylor and Aaron each have a color of paint that represents them. As Taylor and Aaron blend their individual colors on the canvas, they create a work of art and a new color representing their being joined as one today. The painting is as unique and original as their relationship and would be incomplete if they did not paint it together"

    [QUOTE]Unity candles, unity paintings, wine ceremonies. rose ceremonies and sand ceremonies are ALL "made up" filler.  They aren't legally required (unlike the Declaration of Intent, which is required in some states), and aren't sacramental, either.

    <div>The OP didn't say anything about her painting ceremony being either legal or sacramental.  It can still be a beautiful, symbolic part of the ceremony, and there is certainly nothing wrong with doing one if that is her preference. </div>
