Like wedding is most cultures, Persian weddings are divided into a ceremony, called the"Aghd", and a reception, called the "Aroosi" The Aghd, which is the name for the ceremony of a Persian wedding, is a beautiful and joyful cultural event, not a religious event. As part of the ceremony, a "sofreh "(which means spread, in the sense of a table or food spread) is prepared for the bride and groom. The ceremony will include poetry readings and a discussion about the importance of the institution of marriage, along with discussion of the couple and their relationship together.
Here are some of the wedding photos taken.
