YEP! Twice the love for this special day! Our first ceremony will be a traditional American ceremony in the front lawn, followed by cocktail hour. After introduction of bridal party and the bride and groom, we will sit for our modern take on a traditional Persian wedding ceremony the sofreh aghd.
The sofreh aghd is a traditional wedding ceremony spread where legal marriage + ceremonial traditions are exchanged. The ceremonial traditions have been practiced for thousands of years. Sofreh aghd spreads are usually very customary at Persian weddings. Like most, Iranians have diverse religious backgrounds and the sofreh aghd is a chosen cultural ceremony commonly practiced regardless of faith. There are many symbolic items which make up the sofreh aghd spread, all in which represent an element of the couple’s new life and marriage together. The word “sofreh” means “spread” and “aghd” means “ceremony."
We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! We understand this may be an issue for those traveling from afar, please reach out if you have any questions!
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
Formal. The majority of the reception is made up of dancing , so we encourage everyone to bring their dancing shoes!
