Koumbari
The Koumbari will stand at the altar with the bride and groom and represent spiritual support and connection in the Greek Orthodox church. During the ceremony they will assist in the crowning of the "Stefana." The "Stefana" represent the wedding crowns, which are two crowns joined by a ribbon, symbolizing the unity of marriage by God. Elizabeth's late mother, Nancy Katsouras, gifted Angelica and Eric with Stefana that will be used during the ceremony. We miss her dearly, and may her memory be eternal. We are honored she is part of our ceremony and was a part our lives. Elizabeth and Angelica have been friends since childhood. Johnny and Eric became fast friends when Angelica and Eric lived in Arizona.
