A traditional wedding ceremony in China must be accompanied by red wax, which represents the continuation of incense and the family's expectation for the couple to continue the incense! Two separate candles on both sides are lit by family members of both sides, representing the life of the bride and groom before this moment. Their candlelight represents the confidence, wisdom and love they get from their parents.

Before this moment, their candlelight burned separately, but after exchanging vows, the bride and groom will light candles in the middle, which means that they will become one from now on.
