--- title: "Persian Sofreh Aghd Highlight Video | WeddingEditor" url: https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/persian/sofreh-aghd/ last_updated: 2026-10-11 --- # A sofreh aghd highlight, made from your ceremony footage The aghd is the Persian marriage ceremony, held around the sofreh aghd, a cloth laid with symbolic items before a mirror and two candelabra. The couple sits facing the mirror; married women hold a cloth over their heads and rub sugar cones above it; the officiant asks the bride three times whether she agrees, and after the guests' playful answers she says yes; then the couple feeds each other honey and exchanges rings. To get a highlight of it, upload only the aghd footage as its own WeddingEditor project, name the moments and the people, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes a Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes or a Social Teaser. The aghd is quiet and close. Say which angle caught the mirror best.

Add the clips from every camera; no renaming or sorting is needed. 2. **Name the moments and the people** List the moments in the order they happened and name the women who held the cloth, the person who rubbed the sugar, the officiant and any relative who answered on the bride's behalf. Use the avoid question for anything the family wants left out. 3. **Receive and refine** Pay with One Wedding or a plan credit, start processing, and the edit typically arrives 24 to 72 hours later, made by WeddingEditor's AI editing. Up to two revision rounds by email are included. ## Moments of the aghd to list Write these into the must-include question in order. - **The sofreh at rest**: Detail images of the mirror, the candles, the bread, the honey and the sugar cones before anyone sits. - **Seated before the mirror**: The couple taking their places and seeing each other in the mirror. - **Cloth and sugar**: The women raising the cloth and the sugar cones being rubbed above the couple. - **The askings**: The officiant's three questions, the guests calling out, and the bride's yes. - **Honey**: The couple dipping their little fingers in honey and feeding each other. - **Rings and gifts**: The exchange of rings and, in many families, gifts of gold or jewelry from relatives. ## What happens at the aghd, in order This is a common shape; practice varies by family, region and faith, so check with the family first. - **1. The sofreh is laid**: The sofreh is set facing the light, with a mirror, candelabra, flatbread, honey, sugar cones, eggs, nuts, coins, burning espand and a holy book or book of poetry. - **2. The couple sits**: The couple sits before the sofreh, facing the mirror, with family and close friends gathered around. - **3. Cloth and sugar**: Happily married women hold a cloth above the couple while one rubs two sugar cones together over it; some families also add a few symbolic stitches to the cloth. - **4. The askings**: The officiant reads and asks the bride for her consent; by custom she answers only on the third asking, after guests joke that she has gone to pick flowers or fetch rosewater. - **5. Honey and rings**: After the yes, the couple feeds each other honey with their little fingers, exchanges rings and receives gifts and congratulations. - **A highlight, not the full aghd**: The aghd runs longer than five minutes; the project returns one Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes or one Social Teaser built from it. ## Parts of the aghd and what to note in the preferences | Part | What it looks or sounds like | What to note in the preferences | |---|---|---| | Sofreh details | Candles, mirror, bread, honey, sugar cones | "Open on the candles and the mirror." | | Couple seated | Facing the mirror, family close | "Feature both mothers beside them." | | Cloth and sugar | White cloth raised, sugar falling | "Name the aunts holding the cloth." | | The askings | Officiant's question, guests calling out, the yes | "Keep all three askings." | | Honey and rings | Fingers in honey, rings exchanged | "Include the honey close up." | ## What is the sofreh aghd? The sofreh aghd is the spread of symbolic items around which the Persian marriage ceremony, the aghd, takes place, and the term is often used for the ceremony itself. A sofreh aghd highlight is a short edit of that ceremony made from the footage you upload. Not the same as: It is not the aroosi, the celebration that follows, and not the knife dance. A Persian Jewish, Zoroastrian or Armenian ceremony may use a sofreh with its own religious rite. ## Sofreh aghd video questions ### Can the aghd be its own film? Yes. Create a project for it and upload only its footage. The aghd then has its own edit, paid separately from the aroosi. ### The room was small and candlelit. What should I note in the preferences? Name the camera or angle that held the mirror and the couple best, and say which clips have the clearest faces. The edit can only use what you filmed. ### Will the officiant's words be kept? Yes, if your microphones caught them. WeddingEditor keeps the recorded sound and uses music alongside it, balanced by your audio preference; ask for more weight on speech in the audio question. ### Who decides what parts of the ceremony are shown? The family and the officiant. WeddingEditor does not decide religious or family protocol; put any limits in the avoid question. ### Can the detail shots of the sofreh be used? Yes. List them in the moments question and say where in the edit they belong. ### What does an aghd highlight cost? One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding, or one plan credit, with up to two email revision rounds included. ## More for Persian weddings - [Persian wedding video editing](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/persian/): The whole wedding - [Knife dance highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/persian/knife-dance/): The dance before the cake - [Persian wedding highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/persian/highlight/): The day in 5 minutes - [Persian wedding teaser](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/persian/teaser/): A Social Teaser - [Nikah highlight](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/muslim/nikah/): Another marriage ceremony - [All cultures](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/wedding-video/cultures/) ## The mirror, the sugar and the yes Upload the aghd as its own project and list the moments in the order they happened.
