Abstract: A unity candle includes two separate half sections with separate wicks on the adjoining surfaces of the two half sections. As the half sections are moved into registered engagement, the flames from the separate wicks merged into a single flame of increased size and intensity which melts the wax of the candle to fuse the half sections together. The invention contemplates an improved method of symbolizing the joining of a couple in matrimony by placing the two half sections of the unity candle in spaced-apart relation, having the wicks of the half sections lit by respective individuals of the couple and then having the couple place the two half sections together with the adjoining surfaces in registered engagement to form a single unified candle.
