Bridal Shower Wedding Poem Taper Set

There is a wedding poem that tells a married couple to light different colored taper candles as various stages or events take place. We have put together a complete set of the candles to go with the bridal poem. This set includes 1 pair each of 12" white, red, navy, pink, ivory, yellow, light blue, and silver tapers, plus a thinner pair of 10" mauve tapers. The 8 pair of 12" taper candles have a standard 7/8" base to fit regular taper holders. The 10" pair of thinner tapers are 1/2" diameter and need a taper holder of that size. The candle holders are sold separately. This bridal poem set of candles come neatly packed in the is attractive box, ready to give as a gift. A copy of the wedding poem is placed on top of the candles on a thick card so it won't tear or wrinkle. This bridal shower candle poem is a perfect gift for either the bridal shower or at the wedding.

The wedding poem reads:

A basket of candles that come in a pair,
of all different colors, for you two to share.

The white ones burn first, they are wrapped in white lace,
to celebrate the first night in your new chosen place.

The mauve pair is smaller, and thinner,
they burn with your first company over for dinner.

There are candles to burn Christmas Eve, before bed,
your first Christmas married, that’s why they are red.

The navy candles are for your first fight;
use them to burn when making up all night.

Pink candles will set the mood and pave the way
for your very first married Valentine’s Day.

Now when your first year of marriage is through,
the Ivory anniversary pair will light for you two.

By this time we hope maybe, just maybe,
you could burn the yellow ones on the birth of your baby.

And just when you thought you could put these away;
take the light blue ones for your fifth anniversary day.

Now just one pair left for the big "25",
the anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.

So congratulations both of you on the start of your "forever",
may the two of you always be happy together.

And burn these candles just like I said,
but please don’t forget…blow them out before bed!
