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.
Wow!! Glad to come across this Persian wedding culture. Have never been to such wedding. Recently I along with my friends was invited to a wedding at one of Los Angeles wedding venues. It was a Chinese cultural wedding. Really found that culture interesting.
