What are the words a preist says when a bride and groom are lighting the candles?

Question

in a wedding there are 3 candles the brides the grooms and the one for them both. I need to know the words they say when lighting them.

Answer 1

There are MANY variations on what can and has been said (or not said for that matter, some people prefer to play a song instead). Here are a couple:
[bride] and [groom], the two separate candles symbolize your separate lives, separate families and separate sets of friends. I ask that each of you take one of the lit candles and that together you light the center candle.
The individual candles represent your lives before today. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining of your two families and circles of friends into one.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Before you met, your lives were on different paths with different destinations. Love has brought you together and joined these separate paths into one.
I will now ask that in a moment you light a single candle that will symbolize your previous separate lives, separate sets of friends, separate families and the different life journeys you once traveled. And then I ask that you each take your individual candle and together you light the center candle.
~The couple steps forward and lights their individual candles.~
~The Unity Candle is lit.~
With the lighting of the center candle you have now symbolically joined your once separate lives. As two flames combined into one light, so now are your friends and family joined, through you into one. And your once solitary life’s paths are also now one. All that was once separate is now shared and in this sharing you both will find great comfort

Hope that helps you

Answer 2

There is no set phrase or set of words. If you want to know what your minister is going to say, sit down and discuss it with him (her) in advance. What normally happens during the lighting of the candles is to have either a reading, a song, a verse, a blessing, a prayer, or any variation. It's totally up to you. Make it what you want.

Answer 3

At my wedding and it was catholic..the 2 mothers lit the unity candle which basically symbolized each of them letting go of 2 and allowing them to become 1. Just a suggestion!!!

Answer 4

There's really no certain saying. They have many introductions for it.

At our ceremony the mothers are going to light the family candles during the seating of the mothers. Then in the middle of the ceremony the pastor is making reference to light the unity candles, and my maid of honor is singing during this.

So I guess nothing is really being said.

Answer 5

I think it is, What God has joined together, let no man set asunder.
