Hello to all,
There was a query recently asking for the significance of putting 3 
knots at the time of Maangalyadhaarana.  
I have not been able to find any specific explanation to the three 
knots, except that this symbolises the integration in mind and soul 
of three important parties to the sacred marriage.
The first knot apparently, symbolises the unity between the husband 
and wife and the firm commitment to each other through the marital 
bondage. This is amply borne out in all the rituals of the marriage;
The second  knot symbolises the unification and firm commitment to 
the two families; The third one, which is normally tied by the 
sister,  is the reciprocal commitment and assurance of the boy's side 
to the girl's prosperity and well being and the progeny brought 
through this bondage.
If any of the group members get a diiferent interpretation, please 
let me know.
Also apologies please, if i am incorrect in mentioning the above 
significance.

Ashok from Ras-Al-Khaimah, U.A.E.
