Any Idea What The Saat Pheras In Hindu Wedding Mean?

The typical Hindu wedding happens in the presence of close family and friends. The bride and groom are required to take seven vows, each one more beautiful and meaningful than the other. An age-old method to seal the marriage in the presence of the holy fire, a commitment for life. And the vows are ever so special, since the couple has to circle the fire after every vow. While some people might want to hurry up this part of the wedding, we urge you to go slow, let each vow sink in and then move on. This way, you will remember it for life.

The couple prays to the Gods for nourishment and seeks blessings that their life is never short of money and food. The groom vows to provide for his family and they commit to work as a team.
