African and Christian Ceremony

Candice and Alvin incorporated the Cord of Three Strands into their wedding ceremony. The old African tradition was done in lieu of a unity candle. “We agreed that this would be the best option for us because it signified that God is the head of our relationship,” Candice says. The couple also infused their religious ceremony with songs that were meaningful to them. “Alvin and I took a great deal of time choosing the right songs for the processional and major reception events. We still have guests talking about the song choices,” she says.
