During the Orthodox wedding ceremony, the two Crowns are joined by a ribbon which symbolises the union of the Bride and Groom's souls, and at the same time establishing them as King and Queen of their own dominion – their home and family. Where they will rule their "kingdom" or household with full responsibility and respect to each other and to God.

During this crowning, the Priest takes the two Stefana and crowns the bride and groom. The koumbaro or Koumbara (best man / matron of honour) then steps behind the bride and groom and interchanges the Stefana three times as a witness to the sealing of this union. The priest then leads the couple around the alter 3 times signifying the eternity of their marriage.
