Candles add light to the Wedding
The Candle Ceremony is an important Colombian wedding tradition. Once the rings have been exchanged the bride and groom each light a candle symbolizing the life of each one. Together they light another candle and put out the original candles, leaving only one burning strongly. The single bright candle symbolizes that the newly married couple are the same body and that they’re going to spend the rest of their lives together.
