Pass the Candle

[nauadpi]

I am a very large fan of how we do candle passings...but that is because I have had one too... Anyways...in my chapter we other than sisterhood things, we only do them for people who get engaged. So we will sing multiple different songs during it...All the nice ones and what not...But as it goes around, it will stop at different sisters who have prepared something to say about the couple or just the sister... It ends up being really nice...but many people end up crying... At mine, my diamond sisters both spoke and another close sister... Also, we as a chapter get a nice candle with flowers around the base of it for the passing, then place the ring around it... For the past few years we have also been having the passings at Black Diamond or our semi-formal/themed (depends on the social chair)... Oh but for mine they were talking about not doing it there...so they then surprised me at our themed dance by having my fiancee come ask for my ring part way through... That was when I realized I was getting a candle passing... Anyways I think I have gone on about this for long enough for now...
