As a certified wedding planner in real life, I have learned in my studies that a Unity Candle is not only for the bride and groom, it can also be used to connect both sides of the families. So why not place this unity candle in an area where the audience can see it and have a member from both sides of the family stand near the unity candle table during the ceremony and light it when beckoned. How many poses are on it? Well there are two stand poses on each side of the table. There is a stand spot where a family member can stand during the ceremony and then there is a spot for that same family member to light the unity candle. So purchase your Unity Candle today and connect the bride's and groom's family in a symbolic manner by lighting the unity candle.
