"Evet - I do"

 An exhibition that opened Aug. 17 at Dortmund Museum of Art and Culture History in Germany focuses on the increasing closeness of Turkish and German cultures following the 1960s migration of Turkish workers to the country. The exhibition, titled “Yes-Ja, Ich Will! Wedding Culture and Fashion from 1800s to Today: A German-Turk Encounter,” displays the similarities between Turkish and German weddings. It reminds visitors of the old traditions which are being forgotten. The exhibition may also provide wedding ideas to couples planning to marry soon.
