"Yes, but what are the spark plugs?  Inquiring minds want to know!  I'm 
imagining how I might have incorporated this deeply symbolic ritual into my own 
wedding, if only I had known..."


The spark plugs are candles.  Also, the matchmaker is not laid out on a tray.  
A Koilitch (challah) with 4 candles (or spark plugs if you run out of candles) 
stuck in it was laid out on the tray by the matchmaker.

Another interpretation might be that few of us truly understand the importance 
of authentic, traditional auto parts in recreating Yiddish dance.
