OK - now we will answer the question, you really wanted to ask. Why did we call it FirstPhera?
Per Wikipedia, Saat phere is an important part of a Hindu wedding, where in a the bride and groom circumambulate around a sacred fire. Fire or Agni is considered sacred and vows taken in front of Agni are considered to be unbreakable - with Agnideva (God of fire) as the witness as well as to seek his blessings. In Sanskrit, this ceremony is called Saptapadi
Technically, with the First Phera, the couple "invokes the Gods for the plentitude of pure and nourishing food and a life that is noble and respectful". But really, isn't the FirstPhera the point where a wedding starts? We want to be the place where wedding couples start planning their wedding; where they go every day to save, share & enrich their memories.
Of course this is just a metaphor, its not about Hindu weddings only - its only about beautiful weddings. Muslims, Christians, Jews, everyone - we'd love to host your wedding memories. Jump right in!
