Sofreh Akhd - traditional Iranian wedding arrangement
The mullah filling out the nikkah nameh - the marriage document that will marry us
The mullah asks Naghmeh if she will accept me as her husband
Some preliminaries - the women in the family rub cones of sugar above the bride to shower sweetness and luck on her
The mullah giving me his words of advice on marriage
Signing the nikkah namah (marriage contract) before I go and sit by Naghmeh
I sit by Naghmeh and she only lifts her veil after we look at each other in the mirror
Naghmeh signing the nikkah namah
A bit of honey shared
The rings
Showered with gold coins (not real)
The happy couple
Mimo, Naz, mom and dad
Jafar & Tahereh (eldest brother and his wife), Hassan (second brother), Naghmeh's mom, Laila & Mehdi (third brother and his wife)
Naghmeh's uncle Ali, mom and aunt Iran (she was the one who introduced us)
Naghmeh's dad was sorely missed
Chocolate and strawberry cake - yum!
