Two Suns Insignia
The Two Suns Insignia or Two Suns Emblem is a badge or patch made of bleached threads, pinned to exterior garments in conspicuous places by Stenza who have gotten married. Both members of the relationship wear the badge, although each member has tremendous freedom in wearing their own clan's design, the design of the clan they're marrying into, or the design of the clan their partner comes from (when their partner is marrying out of it).
Significance
The Two Suns Emblem is modeled after Iradae and Lan'tha, considered the prototypical Stenza marriage, and is meant to symbolize that this relationship has religious backing (not unlike blood siblings) and is serious for both parties. It also represents the couple's goals for their own relationship, and faith that they will be able to achieve them.
Each clan has variants on the design (coloration changes, whether the stars are rounded or pointed and if so, how many points are involved) that members may use as a form of identification, but there are no rules dictating which member of the couple wears what design. So, a party may wear the design of their clan of origin, that of the clan they're marrying into, or that of their partner's clan of origin (if they are marrying out of it), based on personal taste and internal negotiations between the couple.
Aww, this is such a cute tradition. I like that there's a lot of freedom around the design.

It's so delightful! And I feel like this version links together with everything else so well (especially on the mythology and religion side)
