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!
