We'd like to welcome everyone and start the celebrations with the welcome dinner and Hana Bandoon with all our guests. Hana Bandoon is an old Iranian pre-wedding ritual dating back to several hundred years ago, since Iranians always considered Henna a sacred herb that grows in paradise, using it in the special ceremony of marriage was a symbol of luck. The evening before the Persian wedding ceremony the bride's family throw Hanna Bandoon. Usually, a member of the bride's family applies henna to the bride’s and groom’s palms and asks them to hold each other’s hands to have a colourful happy life. Dinner will be provided for all guests.
2:30 pm
The wedding celebrations will continue till 2am in the Orangery at Tankardstown Manor. If you are still standing, the afterparty is at the Manor house bar which will remain open till 4am.
