What Does the Unity Candle Ceremony Mean?

In this tradition, the bride and groom each take a taper candle and together light a larger central candle. This act represents unity, love, and the beginning of a new shared life.

It is especially popular in Christian weddings but is now widely used in many modern ceremonies.
