Question

What should I expect at a Persian wedding?

Answer

The ceremony is different than what I'm sure most of our guests are accustomed to and we will happily provide info in the wedding programs day of. There will be things to look forward to such as the consent ritual, the knife dance, and the flower petal toss at the end of the reception. Feel free to research it ahead of time or wait and be surprised the day of!
