Can I ask a question? what do you mean by Walk the candle?

The president in our chapter always brought the candle out from another room while we were making our circle. Then we started to sing "Remeber" as she explain what the first pass was (friendship). The candle would be passed from sister to sister around the circle until it reached her again as we alternated singing and humming ( i think texas*princess explained what our chapter does previously somewhere ). The president would then explain what the second pass was for (lavaliere) and repeat the process. For the third pass, she would blow out the candle, slip the engagement ring on the candle, relight and begin again. ON whatever pass it was, the sister it affected would blow out the candle.

I have only seen one alteration to this...a sister didn't know she was being proposed to until her Big blew it out for her, as her boyfriend was walking into the room and getting on one knee.
