The most important symbol and accessory of a religious wedding, behind which lies a special symbolism, are the so-called wedding candles. Even if you conceive your wedding in a nonconformist manner, tradition speaks for itself, and the presence of candles is mandatory during the religious ceremony.
Wedding candles are held by the godparents and symbolize the love, purity, and light that will guide the new life of the couple who have united their destinies. Thus, on a symbolic level, the godparents become the spiritual parents of the bride and groom and have the moral duty to guide their steps.
