Heavenly Doves BY JERRY GACIA

A Wedding Dove Release Traditionally, the bride and groom each release a single white dove in unison just after the first kiss (during an outdoor ceremony) or when exiting the ceremony (during an indoor ceremony). The additional doves are released just after the bride and groom release their pair of doves. The releasing of two white wedding doves by the bride and groom symbolize the newlywed couple embarking together on a life long journey. Additional white doves represent the support from family and friends as they send the newlywed couple on their new journey.
