We are doing a unity painting instead of a unity candle! Our parents will pour paint and we will each paint half of the canvas. I used vinyl and my Cricut to cut our calligraphy and placed it on the canvas. We’ll take off the vinyl after our honeymoon and hopefully it will work!
Here is our ceremony’s blessing:
Pour paints and hand them back to your children
O: The paint represents that God views each of you as unique and beautiful individuals. It also represents the joy you two will bring to one another as you create a new family.
Take the paints from which your family have poured. This joining of these two paints onto the canvas is a sign that a new family has been formed today blending all the love, traditions and experiences you have both shared with your individual families. It also represents God, your creator, who has brought you both together for this moment to remind you of the blessing he has bestowed upon your creation of a new life and family together.
J&E: Put paint on half of the paintings each
