Engagement Tables


What should be on the engagement table?

Icons?
- Anything specific?
- What is its religious/ceremonial meaning?
- How should it be displayed?

Rings?
- Do the rings have to be “new” (meaning that the to be bride can not wear her engagement ring until it is actually blessed?)
- Should they be in a box?

Silver Platter?

Sugar Almonds?
- How many?
- Do the almonds have the same symbolic meaning as the wedding bomboniere (health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life)?

Flowers?
- Are they just for decoration?

Rose Petals?
- What color?
- What do they represent?

The cake?
- Do you cut the cake at the same time as the blessing of the rings?
- Does the cake stay out from the beginning of the night?

Champers?

One thought on “Engagement Tables

  1. Always on the table must be an icon & the rings… an incense burner is optional but a lot of Cypriots use it.
