wedding centerpiece

Last Saturday, I attended a wedding at the winery. It was a beautiful wedding. Loved the creative table setting. Each guest received a bottle of honey with bride and groom name. Our name was pinned on a pear. On back of our name tag there was a stamp of an animal. I got a fish. Other guests got cow, chicken, vegetable. Each guest has a different one. Some are the same. We were wondering what was that for. Does it represent the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac? Nope, it was out main course. How creative!!
