On the day of the wedding feast, the bride was assisted by her attendants while the groom gathered with his friends.

The friends went with the groom to get his bride and take her to the wedding feast. With great anticipation, friends and neighbors lined the path to light the way and join in the procession. If the groom delayed his coming, each guest had to have enough oil to last until the groom arrived. At last, the cry was heard. "Here he comes." The attendants excitedly left the bride and went into the street to light the final wave for the bride groom.
