The vows and rings are pretty much symbols in any ceremony and are used to show a giving of one's whole self to another, and them doing the same in return. The marriage candle or unity candle is a symbolic joining of two families, through the promises and vows given and received. It's not a compulsory thing to include and some parishs don't like this little ceremony, but at the end of the day, its up to the bride and groom. Other symbols could include flowers, music, decoration. The sacrament of marriage is relatively personal - it is given by the bride to the groom and vice versa. It's not administered by the priest, but witnessed by him instead. Having said that then, the symbols for the sacrament of marriage are really up to the couple and what they choose to use as symbols.
