Fire Unity Ceremony Tradition

“We had everyone take a handful of red cedar wood chips as they walked through the house to their seats,” Sharon says. “During the ceremony we had everyone make a simple wish or thought toward our marriage and then my cousins went around and collected them in baskets. We put all the wood chips in a fire that Eric and I had started off to the side of the ceremony and it symbolized how Eric and I may have started this fiery loving relationship but it was also our friends and family who have supported us throughout the years and helped us be the passionate, happy couple we are today.”
