Yoruba Tasting Ceremony

I am helping my sister plan her wedding. Can anyone share information on the Yoruba Tasting Ceremony? I would like to know that wording for the officiant.

Thanks!

Re: Yoruba Tasting Ceremony

Hey Sistalove ...are you speaking of the Tasting of Three Elements? If you are ...I think that's the wording.

HTH!

Re: Yoruba Tasting Ceremony

It's the 4 elements T! I know you're ignoring the bitter! LOL!

Here's the wording we'll use if we incorporate this tradition:
In a ritual from Yoruba tradition, the bride and groom taste four elements that represent different emotions within a relationship. The tokens used in this wedding ceremony are sour (lemon), hot (cayenne pepper), sweet (honey) and bitter (vinegar). By tasting these elements Crystal & Marlon are demonstrating their symbolic commitment to get through the seasons of life together.

I think I got it from another sister on this site. HTH!
