The questions represent the pressure to which a bride puts down when her wedding day has arrived. Thus, the author is trying to make us reflect a little thorugh this lines on what the bride goes through when her wedding day has arrived; guests, litting lamps, baskets for the evening service, etc... mean, just a little of what needs to be done in a wedding and most of the time by brides.
