Unity Ceremony

When it comes to the unity ceremony, there are many options for a ritual that symbolizes the coming together of two individuals into one marriage. This is the short list:
1. Unity Candle - The bride and groom each take a lit candle and together light a third candle.
2. Sand Ceremony - The bride and groom pour different colored sands into a single vessel.
3. Wine Ceremony - The bride and groom pour wine a single vessel and drink from it.

There are many permutations of these types of ceremonies out there and, being the nerds we are, we had to create another one. We like to call it 'chemistry'.


Before I share the idea, I want to make sure that all credit for this idea goes to my fiance. He thought of the idea, he found the chemicals, and he is just plain awesome!

We plan to each pour a clear liquid into a vessel together. The nerdy magic trick comes when these to liquids mix, because they turn blue upon contact. Cool, huh? So our chemistry unity ceremony will hold the same meaning that the other unity ceremonies hold, but has a personal touch to it. And hopefully we can get some excited faces and cool pictures out of it too!

What unity ceremony are you using, if any? What meaning does it hold for you?
