Examples of Unity Ceremonies
HandFasting
One of the oldest of these alternative unity ceremony ideas, and particularly known in Pagan wedding ceremonies, handfasting is the joining of the bride and groom’s hands and wrists using vines, cord, rope, or ribbon tied into a knot. There are many options starting from a very long traditional ceremony to a contemporary symbolic style. By the way, the phrase "tying the knot," when referring to getting married, literally originates from this tradition. https://www.brides.com/story/handfasting-wedding-ceremony-101
Jumping the Broom
Jumping the broom is an ancient wedding ceremony tradition. “This is often using alongside a handfasting wedding ceremony – the couple will have their hands bound together before they jump over the broom, which signifies leaving their single lives behind and jumping into their new married future together.
The roots of broom jumping originate independently in parts of Britain, Paganism, and African American culture.

Ring Warming
“Ring warming is a great way for guests to be involved in the ceremony ... “The best man (or woman!) steps forward with both of the wedding rings and passes them around to each guest.
“Each guest then gets to ‘warm’ or bless the rings with love and kind thoughts for the couple and their marriage. Once they’ve passed through all the guests’ hands, they go back to the front to be held until it’s time for the couple to exchange rings.”
