I was asked to be a koumparo for my good friend but I'm not really sure what it entails....is it a big responsibility? Or is it only a ceremonial thing on the day of the wedding?

I didn't know that this was a tradition!It depends on the situation. There is a special part of the wedding ceremony that the koumbaro/koumbara does because it has to be done by an Orthodox Christian. Tradition states that this individual will become the godparent of your first born. However, that is just a tradition and it isn't always followed. It isn't totally necessary to follow this tradition.

I think you can really make being a koumbaro/a your own role! Talk with the family and see what you both envision. It can be your ownI didn't know that this was a tradition!
