 According to the Turkish customs (as far as I know)

It of course depends on the arrangement,  it is not a must to buy a house for any party.

 

The grooms´ side is responsible for all the white goods, electronics, the sofa set, dining set..

The brides´ side is responsible for bedroom set,  cookware, cutlery. glassware, dinner sets, carpets, curtains and accessories, towels, bathrobes.

 

This may change due to the region

 And according to the jobs man and woman have Or according to how ´modern´ they are.

 

I vote for sharing all the costs and picking all the furniture together And a no no for involvement or too much financial aid by parents!!!

Well we chose everything what s important together but the ones who were paying varied.

 

And about resorts - completely agree - a big risk starting anything. Anyway, after what I see or read about resorts I wouldnt even look to a resort worker.

 ´Bridesmaid´ means "nedime" in Turkish. But there is no nedime in traditional Turkish weddings.

thanks for that. it surely helped. though i wonder, cant we have a role on his wedding? i was expecting maybe bridesmaids or anything, but i dont know what they call it (i`m begging for the right term). well, who knows.. i might be marrying with a turkish man someday. we´re still young to know if we´re the right one though. i wish by the time of my marriage, it will be a little classic since i am a foreigner. are you serious they only give golds? here in my country, as with the weddings people actually give like house & lots, house wears, appliances or anything for the new couple. and after the church wedding, they have this reception thing. i wonder how it takes for a turk couple to get married. i get confused since i´ve been to muslim weddings and christian ones.

I am certainly planning to have bridesmaids at my wedding- my sister insists! I couldn´t tell you what ´bridesmaid´ means in Turkish though- maybe there is no translation?? They only give gold, yes. Sometimes a coin (if you don´t have much money) and gold jewellery sets if you are close family. I personally think it´s a really good idea- you´re not expected to keep it and wear gold everyday for the rest of your life lol but gold always increases in value and you can sell it and get the cash . How long does it take? The time between engagement and marriage is short- normally only a few months. People think i´m crazy for planning a wedding a year in advance including my fiance!! As for the reception I was telling you about- it´s normally an evening do from about 8pm to midnight.

I had my wedding in Turkey last year.  The actual marriage was done at the city counsil and it took less then 15 minutes.  However, turkish people do like to celebrate.  it is customory to have some type of reception.  Most turkish do not really have much of a conception of invitation even though they send one.  if I get an invitation and I tell my girlfriend who happens to know the couple she might also show up.  We invitated about 100 people I did not want anything big and end up with about three hundred.  you do not have to feed everybody just make sure you have a huge cake to accomodate more than just the people invitated and drinks.

The good part about it is that you can have an absolutely gorgeous fress made for almost nothing in no more than a week.  I don´t think they have brides maides, at least I did not, your brides maides will automatically be the sisters, cousing, close female relative.  Even if you do not want them they will still do so.  Oh yes, and be prepared to be touched, kissed and hugged a lot.  Turkish people are very lovely and they have no concept of space.  That was the hardest part for me.  Other than that I love their gift system.  No more items to get stuck with, no 6 blenders or things you will never use.  In Turkey most guest will give you money, close relatives will probably give you jewerly, and the rest most than likely will give you this cool gold coins varrying in size and price.  At the end you just turn them in to a jewerly shop and get a bunch of money back.  The thing I liked the most is that they have this wonderful dance in which almost everyone gets involved.

  was wondering with different cultures doing CEREMONIES differently - In Turkey what finger do married people WEAR their wedding rings?  The sentence structure was not brilliant either

 

Sorry, just a personal gripe.  There are so many non-English here whose English grammar and spelling are far superior to ours!
