The Persian wedding ceremony of the “Sofreh Aghd” is a tradition, filled with rich symbols, some more ancient than Islam but all linking this generation to the future happiness of the newly wedded couple.
Only tradition links every generation, and the first link to the next generation is made by allowing the current generation to marry. In the marriage tradition symbols reveal to our desires for the happiness of everyone in both families as they are connected to future generations through the matrimony of their beloved children.

Persians celebrate, as always, with great enthusiasm in jubilation and excitement at the wedding event.
Some of the symbolisms are Mirror and two Candelabras are symbols of light and fire, love and passion, energy and guidance.
A specially baked and decorated bread with a blessing written on it
Decorated almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts in the shell to symbolize fertility.
A bowl of gold coins representing wealth and prosperity
The Koran opened in the middle and placed on the spread, this symbolizes God’s blessing for the couple.
Just to mention a few, I will never forget this wedding thanks for letting me be a part of it.

Hola Luba,

I want to thank you for all of your hard work over this past year while planning my destination,dream wedding in Cabo!
Planning a wedding that is local is difficult enough the tought of planning my wedding in a foreign country was totally over whelming. I am so gateful that Cabo Villas refered you to Us. From our first email to the many others that followed I felt confident in putting all of the details in your hands. I appreciated all of the "little" and "not so little" things that you did for our wedding from the welcome phone call to the petals in the sand and everything in between, you went above and beyond your duties and examplify everything a wedding planner should be: I could not imagine going througth this process with out you!

Plan on joining un for dinner every time we are in Cabo, LOve Cheri!
