Anyway

Aroos khaili khejalatie

It's clear that, in this union, the wife will be the boss and if the husband steps out of bounds, she'll have him for breakfast....Good luck Shah Damad!!!

wow

I love her. She is truly enjoying her wedding. I would never be able to do what she does but she is breaking so many stereotypes. the only problem is the groom looks truly scared : )

hmm...

I don't know what to say... First of all, it was kinda weird, but after all , it is their wedding, so whatever...

Since I don't know for sure

Since I don't know for sure what the facts are here,--------I won't leave a comment.

To each their own

Baba, don't judge...they seem happy. Just because it doesn't fall in the safe confines of how we define a "traditional wedding" doesn't make it wrong. If it were not for people like her, pushing the boundries, nothing new and original would ever be created.

Live and let live.

arooos on crack

I think the Aroos is on crack or something.

WOW

Should I say OMG or WTF?

Yes, she is the bride.  Watch her and the groom cut the cake with that sword/knife:

she's not the bride you

she's not the bride you people. She is just a girl doing a knife dance of some sort, that's why the groom is holding out cash for her. It's a tradition, so she keeps dancing till she sees enough cash in groom's poor hands then she hands over the knife or machete that is she dancing with, and gets the cash.

to Sami, listen brother, do

to Sami, listen brother, do not insult the Dahatis. Appreantly she is from Tehran dahat, listenning to the music. Just because she choose the color of her dress and shamshir and over the top dance, poorly dose not make her dahati. Dahatis have more taste! If it was not for dahats city fox would never survive.
This has been a fun, I think for all of us to watch this video. Everybodys commnets have been so funny. But no one was funnier than ahmad bahai. Thanks, MITRA

Something positive:
* cute hair style
* pretty
* brave
* THE GROOM WILL NEVER MESS
AROUND WITH HER, SHE KNOWS
HOW TO HANDLE A SHARP SHAMSHIR

Congratulations

I actually think the wedding was kinda cool. When I was married to my husband, I wore a red sweater and jeans on our wedding day because we couldn't have a proper wedding then... And, I was a virgin. Two years later, we had a proper wedding with my parents and I wore a white dress then. Therefore, just because the bride has red gown on , does not necessarily mean she is not a virgin. Besides, it is her wedding and her day. If being different from the norm, makes her happy on her special day, let it be, and we must be happy for her.

That's no knife!

As others have pointed out that ain't no knife!!
Hell, that looks like ghameh or more like shamshir. If she is acutall the bride, then the shamshir is to let the groom know who's the boss! No fooling around or the same thing Aziz-al-Saltaneh did to Doostali khare will happen :-)

Best wishes for both the bride and groom and their family.

Apparently Irandokht has no

Apparently Irandokht has no clue about Iranian women and Iranians in general. You need to visit Iran and understand what's really going on.

dude, I have never seen the

dude, I have never seen the bride do the knife cutting dance. It's always the sisters/friends. And btw, that's a shamsheer not a knife! Was she really the bride or like bride's sister? Anyway, she looked like she's going to a ball.

Some Points

I have seen a lot of videoclips of weddings, but this one was amazing and surreal!  It is quite possible that this was a Namzadi, but the clip itself was labeled as an Arousi in Tehran, so it's a wedding, I guess!  I thought the clothes, the bubbles, and the fog were over the top until I saw the cake knife!  Heeh!  That was something else!  It is a cake knife.  Here, you can see the bride and the groom actually cutting their cake with it:

The money the groom eventually pulls out of his pocket is Shabash which he will pay in return for the knife which he needs in order to cut the cake.  I'm not sure from which part of Iran the "knife dance" tradition came, but it seems rampant and out of control in weddings alll over the place now.  The Shabash tradition, paying cash to dancers, is an age-old tradition, prevalent all over Iran.

Live and learn!

what?

Okay so i've been out of iran or 13 yrs and thing have changed this much??? i always thought the girls of the party did the kard dance and not the bride...and what the hell is that ugly red dress on her? which dahat is she in??????

To Ahmad.Bahai, you made me

To Ahmad.Bahai, you made me laugh out loud.

Maybe she is a bit over the top! Maybe! God bless her.I Wish the groom the bride lots of happiness.

I have seen some brides wearing Green for Bakhte sabz in traditional wedding. But never RED. why is that knife decorated like that? That thing look scary.

uh huh

Valla,,, ummm wow khob Im at a loss for words vali khoshbakht beshan..

Is she still alive????

After this video????

Maybe she's not the bride...

Looks odd...

Red is for Aroos who is not virgin

Virgin Aroos wears white. Non-virgins wear red or pink (depending on mileage)!

daring young lady!

WOW

she's going against so many traditionally accepted looks and behavior, and she's having a ball doing it too!

Good for her! with that fresh attitude, she will not be supressed, neglected, or become a victim (hopefully).

Party Girl jan

that looks like a large sword, are you sure they cut cake with it? ;-)
