They are a great way to share the details of your big day, and can also be used as your only source of wedding information, therefore saving you on wedding stationery and postage. Couples don’t have to be computer nerds to set up a “wedsite” (as they are more commonly known) and most of the time you can get these designed by someone else for a very reasonable fee.

* Names of the couple

There are 2 types of unity ceremonies that you could have at your wedding – The Unity Sand Ceremony & The Unity Candle Ceremony. These ceremonies are both non-denominational, which means they have no religious significance. Some couples choose to have a special song played while they are performing these ceremonies. You can also choose to have a special poem read or you can choose to have a moment of silence.
