Marriage is different in a number of ways in my country. In Iran, courting is more serious, and is performed strictly for the purpose of marriage. It is definitely not a part of the fun-filled years of growing up like it is here in America. It is the mother of the young man who initiates the process by visiting the home of a potential bride. She goes to inspect the girl, and discover the position and wealth of the girls family. If she is pleased, then she will return another day with her son. If her son is also pleased, then the two families get together to talk about the dowry, the wedding ceremony, who they will hire to perform the marriage and other matters.
操办婚事在我的祖国有很多做法都是跟美国不同的。在伊朗,提亲要更加严肃。提亲的目的很严格就是要成亲结婚。绝对不像美国这里,提亲谈情说爱成了成年以后玩乐年代生活的一部分。正是那位男青年的母亲前去拜访准新娘的家,由这就开始了谈婚论嫁的全过程。她去相看一下那位姑娘,并且还要查看姑娘家的地位权势和家庭财产。如果她对这件事满意了,那么改天她会带上她儿子再来。如果她儿子对这档婚事也满意,那么这两家人就聚集到一起来谈嫁妆问题,谈婚礼问题。谈他们将聘请谁来担任结婚典礼的司仪,还谈其他别的一些事情。
The actual marriage ceremony is quite different, however, from the American wedding ceremonies I have seen. The bride, dressed in white, with a veil over her face, sits in a room alone. She sits on a special piece of silk which is surrounded on two sides by very long pieces of flat bread. Two mullahs stand outside the door to this room reading from the Koran. Twice the bride must remain silent to the questions of the mullahs. The grooms mother then presents a gift of gold to show that her side of the family is serious. The bride then responds to the mullahs in much the same manner as do Americans when they say I do. The groom is allowed to go into the brides room while the mullahs take care of the official marriage papers.
