is that the marriage will be
an active experience and
not a passive reflection
alone.
It is also claimed that
since there are two
guides it means that two
candles will accompany
both groom and bride.
Twice the Hebrew term
for candle has the same
equivalent numerically
as the expression "Pru
Urvu." This is the com-
mandment to "multiply
and increase" which sig-
nifies that one of the pur-
poses of marriage is the
procreation of the spe-
cies.
In some places everyone
who is involved in the mar-
riage such as relatives,
carry candles. Such an ac-
tion implies that the act of
marriage does not only af-
fect the bride and groom but
all relatives and friends
who are involved with the
couple.
