In the traditional Turkish setting, marriage ceremonies generally start on Tuesday and end on Thursday. Some marriages start on Friday and end on Sunday. Wedding expenses are met by the bridegroom’s family. Regional variances aside, traditional weddings are marked by the following passages: Planting of a wedding flag. There is the entertainment at the gathering for the women of the couple’s families on the night before the wedding day. These Turkish rituals are characterized by the coloring of parts of the hands and feet with Henna. The henna tradition is known as Kına Gecesi. Fetching the bride is as important as the bride’s veil ceremony.
