The ceremony of the Loving Cup has its roots in Celtic tradition. The Quaich or cup is often shared by the couple after the exchange of vows and rings. This is a magical part of the wedding or partnership ceremony, where each toasts their love, life and union before friends and family. It signifies their first drink together as a married couple. 

The Celtic Loving Cup ceremony is simply a beautiful ritual within a marriage ceremony. It offers colour and energy and is inclusive of family.

This involves three candles; one held by each partner and then one which will stand alone. Often the couple design their own Unity Candle with names and the wedding date. 

At the ceremony, the couple each take a lit candle and together light their “unity candle”. This symbolises their joining together as a couple while maintaining their individuality. As the candles come together the light created by the joining the flames is far brighter than a single candle, demonstrating the strength of the union.
