Look into the Mirror

Persian weddings have two main ingredients first the actual ceremony called the “Aghad” and then a lavish reception called“Jashn-e Aroosi” which can last between 3 to 7 days. The Aghad normally takes place at the bride’s parent’s house. Placed on a table is a mirror (the mirror of fate) and two candelabras, one on each side of the mirror. The mirror and candelabras are a symbol of light and fire, which are two very important elements in the Zoroastrian culture.
