Persian wedding (Aghd), traditionally was held at the bride's parent's home. Guests were greeted by close family members at the entrance and the ceremony would begin. After guests seated, the groom would walk up to the front of the "Sofreh ye Aghd", and sits on the right side, which is considered the side of respect according to Zoroastrian culture. He was later joined by the bride who sat on the left.
The "Sofreh ye Aghd", the backdrop used on the floor, was customarily passed from mother to daughter or occasionally, to son, but these days commonly rented from decorators or stores like us. "Sofreh ye Aghd" is made of luxurious fabric, Termeh (Cashmere), Atlas (Satin with golden embroidery) or Abrisham (Silk). Many symbolic items are placed on the spread to create a beautiful design. Two of the most significant items are the mirror, Aayeneh ye Bakht and the candelabras.
Traditionally the Groom's family is responsible to purchase both of these items, often coming from Iran. The large central mirror is placed directly in front of the bride and groom and it should be large enough that all the witnesses behind them can see everyone. The mirror and candles are considered to be two very important items in Persian society, as they signify the fate and bright light that shines into the couple's future. They symbolize light and fire as well as the Zoroastrian faith.
