I got mine last minute at Party City!

I had registered for them but didn't get them at my shower so I got inexpensive ones from Party City.

You use it during your ceremony. Not everyone HAS to do it, but I'm seeing more and more brides and grooms use it. There are two tapers that are lit either by the bride and groom (or sometimes I've seen the mothers of the groom and bride light them) and then the bride and groom use the two tapers to light one big pillar candle. It's like a symbol of two lives becoming one.

Jimmysbride: Thanks! I never thought to look at Party City! I'm going to have to check it out!

This was my engagement present from my grandmother - it's the Waterford Marquis collection.

We found ours on EBay. Its carved with the colors we want. We stayed with pure white but you can have it done anyway you want.

I got mine at:
http://www.printedcandle.com

I saw it a bunch of places but this was the least expensive.

We got it with a silver band and silver writing.
