\u201cTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” – Genesis 2:24<\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing more beautiful in this world than the perfect church wedding. Your friends and family all had nice ceremonies and wonderful receptions. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is just one problem. You’re tired of the same old unity ceremony all of your friends used.<\/span><\/p>\n

You want something different. Something new. Something you and your significant other can look back on and give yourselves a triumphant smile because you know you absolutely nailed it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep reading. We’ve got some great ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Sand<\/span><\/h2>\n

This one has gotten fairly popular over the last few years. It’s perfect for a beach wedding or for a couple who loves being at the beach, met at the beach, etc…<\/span><\/p>\n

This is also a cool way to bring children from previous endeavors into your new family.<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Each member involved in the ceremony has a different colored sand. Said members, one at a time, place their respective sands into a new vessel to keep forever. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why it works: <\/span>Unity Sand<\/span> represents your experiences and memories. Every passing second, minute, and hour. Ever heard of <\/span>the sands of time<\/span>? <\/span><\/p>\n

It also represents the mingling of two fates. What is done cannot be undone. Imagine separating every green, blue, pink, and purple grain from these containers. Impossible, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Water<\/span><\/h2>\n

“But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:14<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a similar ceremony and is great for any church wedding, inside or out.<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Each member of the group will add a different colored water to a new vessel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why it works: This idea represents a similar feel to the sands, but it is a complete melting of fates. What was two or more is now one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip: Play around with various colors to get the exact hue you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Plant a Tree<\/span><\/h2>\n

“11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. 12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” – Psalm 96:11-12<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing says new life like a plant. This is an awesome variation for people who love the outdoors, recycling and living a green lifestyle in general. <\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Each member of the party carries a small pot of dirt. The tree will be in a different pot. The members add dirt to the tree’s new home and then water it together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why it works: The plant represents two lives coming together as one and creating something beautiful from nothing. The marriage and new life grows and flowers just like the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Last Piece of the Puzzle<\/span><\/h2>\n

Have a custom puzzle created or use a favorite puzzle.<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Each member of the group will add a piece. The final member will create the finished puzzle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why it works: This represents the individuals coming together to form a whole. Not just that, it also symbolizes the feeling of being whole when you finally meet the right person.<\/span><\/p>\n

“All of the pieces are coming together.”<\/span><\/p>\n

5. What a Lovely Tea Party<\/span><\/h2>\n

What better way to celebrate a unity ceremony than over a steaming pot of tea?<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Each member makes a pot of their favorite tea and then combines them. All parties involved drink and share this new blend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why it works: This is similar to the colored water idea. The difference is the creation is ingested. It says, “We’re now a part of each other forever.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip: Blend your favorite teas in advance to not only make sure it tastes good but also to make sure the new blend is indeed better than the individual parts.<\/span><\/p>\n
