In most every wedding ceremony, there is a moment that symbolizes the unification of two individuals into one. This symbol is rooted in the scripture in Mark 10:8 "And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” This is often referred to as the unity ceremony and varies across different cultures and traditions, but its purpose remains consistent: to represent the merging of two lives, two families, and two souls. Whether through fire, water, sand, or other meaningful elements, the unity ceremony is a beautiful and serious reminder of the couple’s life long commitment to each other.
