Turkish Marriage


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. Turk dugununde, davetliler gelin ve damati kutlmak icin siraya girerler ve yanaklarindan operler. Altin takmak onemli bir gelenektir. Bilezik, kolye takilir ya da gelinin kirmizi kuagina kucuk altin takilir. Damada da kucuk altin ya da yabanci , yerli paralar takimina ignelenir. Turk evliligi , dogu ile batinin birlestigi yerdedir.Tarihe askim beni alip uzaklara goturuyor annenle dugun gunumuzu yazarken... Annen, o gun demir cagindan daha da eski bir toren sergiledi. Kina gecesi ile dugunu birlestirdi. Davetlilere icecek ve yas pasta ikram edildi. Kinalar yakildi ve mumlar esliginde sarkilar soylendi. Kina, annenin ellerinde kurumaya birakildi.
