Pass the Koran to bring Good Luck
Afghan wedding celebrations are traditionally large events occurring in the evening and lasting until the early hours of the morning with much dancing and eating occurring. When the bride enters the room she is flanked by an entourage of ladies who are dressed just as regally as the bride. The event is similar to that of a queen entering the room as everyone stands and admires the bride. For good luck and happiness the Koran is passed over their heads and henna is painted on their palms.
