A Seemingly Brief Summary
Marriage is a very complex, yet important, matter that must be gone through by every marrying couples. While seemingly chaste prior to actual marriage, there are many occasions, where the man will have been set up to be able to see his bride. Even though this somewhat relaxed part of the two-part marriage is about, there are also many specific tasks that must be performed, and lots of time and effort are put into the decoration and ceremony of the marriage.
Your thoughts with a secret agent:
Ceremonies as complicated as this can only be made by a very strong and lasting generation of heritage. It's obvious that many people practice such a ceremony, but it also must be costly, as they must afford beauticians to tend to the bride. It's also time-consuming, as there are two parts, and even before the two parts there is a pre-marriage set up. While it is quite complicated and definitely time/money consuming, it's also well-respected that so much effort is put into a beauteous ceremony over marriage.
Article's Relation with Culture
Iran, as well as plenty of other countries in the Middle Eastern area, has a strong focus on family in their tradition. Marriage is a bonding between two families, and such is a focus to an Iranian culture. It is a very long process -- a very traditional one at that -- which is still practiced by many Iranian neighborhoods.
