Keep it well within your own heritage by having a more intimate unity ceremony

Marriage is a very sacred step in your life. There is a lot of honor, respect, trust, and faith that goes into your wedding. When you take those vows, they mean something deeper and that's why it's important to have a unity ceremony that speaks volumes. Sure, you can have a typical wedding with the big wedding cake, etc. However, why not get kind of cultural with a more intimate setting and beautiful candles to say with your own wedding vows. Not only would you get more respect and care from your family, but it sets you apart from the more typical weddings.
