Hi everyone

After some time myself and partner have decided its time to finally tie the knot! Im also planning on having my wedding in Turkey as there is to many family members on his side

to fly over, my family is also happy to go there.

Although I have some information regarding the wedding ceremony, I have some questions

before we actually set the date.

I am on the understanding that a turkish wedding holds no religious ceremony as it is not classed as legally binding. The ´tukish wedding´ consists of effectively signing a government

book for name changing and then of course the party.

I am just writing to enquire is it possible to have a civil ceremony of any kind?

All information would be appreciated.

Many thanks

I glanced at this thread and thought it said "Internet Wedding Ceremony"

Maybe we could have the first TC Wedding here

(Can I be bridesmaid? )

i could be honored to hold a tray with rings

and I shall do the singing! Please let me do that!!! True, I am by far the worst singer in the world but give me some credit for trying!

I can make blinding sherry trifle and my vol-au-vents aren´t bad when I don´t burn them

 ....and I can do some Turkish meze - sigara börek, taze fasulye, cacik and some köfte.    (but I won´t sing because I can assure you DD - my singing voice is definitely the worst in the world! )

 you can´t be any worse than this lot!!

 Oh I feel a bit better now! 

I would be happy to become ordained and perform a very moving ceremony, personalized just fo the lovely couple.  

Apparently all I have to do is order an ID card and pay $250 to be ordained for life and have the ability to perform interfaith, international ceremonies!

(of course I will need to recoup my costs for this but we can discuss incidentals later)

 Great

Who shall we force ask to be the first TC wedding couple?

 You and tami of course

There are limits to my age gap....I am not Joan Collins you know!

You know at your advanced age, maybe you shouldn´t be so picky.

 Ok, ok....pick one of the BSB´s and let´s get going on this

 Why does it have to be ME?

Femme seems to have a few possibles lined up

 What was it again? Half your age plus seven?

Intriguing thought.  I wonder if my new ordination allows lesbian marriage.  I think femme and Melek would be a great couple

 Or Femme and Merih?

 Isn´t Merih a guy?

 Either of them.  

What a shame viney left.  I wonder if he would come back if he knew that I could now legally bind he and femme together for eternity?  Viney, are you out there? 

 F and M ..... domination with a lisp?

 no, i protest against this idea, i havent thought of being with another female.

 Ok, chill!  I´m trying to woo viney back! 

 merih could work out since we dont know his/her sex and he/she finally opened his/her eyes and is in love with me.

 Great so we are close to our internet TC wedding.... Merih do you have any objections to marrying Femme?

 i thought viney had an eye on you   just before he left.

 were you talking about me luv?

Oh he had his eye on me alright....I think he was looking for a chance to stick a knife in me

 OMG!! Does this mean you accept this wonderful engagement????? 

 yes, my love, im talking about you all the time, i think of you even when i sleep, when im in the bus or toilet, in a jumper, under a pillow.

 Wow!!! We must make plans GG..... (Merih I hope you realise this marriage IS legally binding...)

 Oh this is truly exciting.  We are on the verge of a wonderful moment.  I´m getting weepy just thinking of it. 

Ohhh there is so much to do!!!  

It is just a western measurement..

Eastern measurement is:

Make him sit on a chair, if his feet touch the floor it is alright..

 it could be the way turkish cupid works.

 Yes, yes....we must plan....but I´m hungry and must go grab a bite first. 

 First job GG - get yourself ordained double quick.

Then we have to think about virtual outfits to wear.....and flowers....and a nice page for it (perhaps Catwoman can do something weddingy for our virtual wedding to take place in? )

 a very interesting idea.

Femme, I found some nice wedding dresses for you....

 Is it ok if just one foot touches the floor ...and he is nearly falling off the edge of the chair?

 Lists, make lists -

Minister - GG

Bridesmaid - AE

Entertainment - DD

Venue - Kitty

Cake - Canli

Flowers - Trudy

Photography - Sui

hhhmmmmm what am I missing.............

 does your feet touch the floor?

 Aww poor thing...you don´t pass the test!

 take it easy girlie, I don´t like to make things in a hurry.

 Is there a nice website where they could spend their honeymoon?

 The godfather/mother for ´some time´ after the wedding?

You can always use a revolving chair and adjust the height!!  

 Shhhhh...you don´t have any say in this.  You have surrendered accepted.  Now you just leave the details to us. 

 We have to hurry - we don´t want you to have time to change your mind!

 too late my man, too late, you are in my paws.

these girls wont let this go now. they will marry us. dont you see how quickly they have organised everything? they want a wedding.

 you women, you all want a wedding, don´t you?

 Music: Here comes the bride.....

 gotta go now.. I had an appointment...

 heh heh

I think this is suiting for the graceful entrance

 Backing out?   (That´s femme after your wedding!   )

 hey, I said I gotta go.. you can´t have a wedding without me...

 Hmmm...I don´t know.  Femme you may need to find a new betrothed.  It seems Merih is just not that into you.

 Poor Femme....always a bridesmaid...never a bride!!
