I don't think this guy should mention it to the chapter president, because if the girlfriend does want to have a candlelight, then at least one person won't be surprised. Even more important: events in an adult's personal life should not be run through another person first.

Huh? When we had a candle pass, we always had to tell the president first so that she knew to have one at the end of chapter. Plus we would occasionally have "surprise" candle passes where the girl didn't even know the candle was for her.

Really? At my chapter, the person asking for the candlelight (usually engagements--not much of a pinning school) would leave an anonymous note for the president. How would you have one when the person didn't even know it was for her? Who blows out the candle?

The person purposely positioned next to her who does know.

exactly. Or if we were outside or at formal or just strategically placed, the guy would appear right as she got the candle at the appropriate time. I remember once the timing was off and the girl to the right knew it was going on and refused to take the candle from the girl it was meant for- then the bf walked in the room. Honestly, those were my favorites.

Yep, we had a few at formals where the girl didn't know until her boyfriend leaned over her shoulder and blew it out. These were usually very longtime boyfriends though who were practically sisters themselves, so they had no problem going to the chaplain and letting them know.
And please peeps...don't rush the man into marriage if he's not feeling it.

That's what we did, or we would leave an anonymous note of the desk of the most artistic sister so she could put up an artsy decorative sign announcing that there would be a candlelight (what we called them) after dinner.
