Did you know that one of the many traditions in a Persian wedding is to have "a needle and seven strands of colored thread to figuratively sew up the mother-in-law's lips from speaking unpleasant words or meddling in the marriage?" And for those Brides and Grooms who wish to "modernize" that tradition, and make it less offensive, the tradition could mean "sewing the lips of nay-sayers or unkind people".
