Ceremony Candlelighting Tradition

Jessica and Sean decided to get their friends and family members involved in the ceremony by having everyone participate in a candle lighting tradition. Each guest was given a small candle and one by one they lit them with the flame from their neighbors’ candles, symbolizing the coming together of the couple’s families and friends. “Looking out at our guests blessing and vowing to support us was moving and special,” says Jessica.
