In This Picture:
The father of the bride is wrapping a red scarf around his daughter.
Close family members will take turns to wrap this red scarf around the bride three times each. This beautiful but exhausting ritual can often take some time especially with Greek/Cypriot families being so big. Some brides save time by limiting the number of people to do the blessing.
