UNITY CEREMONIES (Greek Isles)

Every wedding ceremony usually consists of some sort of "Unity Ceremony."  The most common is the "Unity Candle" which is practiced in most Catholic and Christian ceremonies.

Each culture and nationality has its own version of a unity ceremony. I have been privileged to work on several different ethnic weddings, and witnessed that cultures special symbol of unity!

Lately, several of my clients have been asking me for different ideas for unique unity ceremonies. Over the next several days, I am going to post different types of unity ceremonies. You will see, even though some are so different, they all have a common thread!!

HONEY WALNUT CEREMONY ( THE GREEK ISLES)

This unique unity ceremony happens at the end of the wedding ceremony, not in the middle as most unity ceremonies do. The bride and groom offer to each other honey and walnuts out of a silver spoon. Honey symbolizes the sweetness of marriage. Walnuts are used because they naturally break into four pieces, symbolizing the bride and groom and their two families!
