Mine didn't, but my mother did find a bunch that other brides had left behind, in the sacristy.

No, they don't. The unity candle is not an official part of the Catholic ceremony, more of a cultural tradition that was added. Therefore, if you want it and your church allows it, you provide it yourself.

ours didn't.... and the fancy ones can be expensive... try AC Moore or Michaels... they have nice ones there and always have coupons.... you can even get just a plain white candle and decorate it with pretty ribbon in your colors... thats what we did and it looked simple but pretty

have fun! only a couple more days!!

I know the bayshore mall has one where they make custom unity candles. Or just go to any store and buy a white candle and glue a decoration on it like two rings, or white doves, or whatever you want. Int all honestly, five minutes of time could save you $30 bucks.
