Quoting catwoman:

Alameda, thanks for the description, it was very interesting. However.... I'd never want such a traditional wedding myself, in fact, it would be pain to even participate in it... I think. :-S



Well catwoman, I don't think anyone will force you to attend a traditional Turkish wedding.

I forgot to mention that it is also tradtional forthe groom to present the bride with a home fully furnished with "everything". That is: all the dishes, couches, carpets...everything.

I don't like the part where they kiss hands. To me, it is like an official statement to tell the parents you had sex! At least, that is how I've always understood it: you don't get to talk about it, let alone have it, and then you get married, you have the wedding night and the next time you see the parents, they all know what you've been up to and you confirm it kissing their hands.



I see it as the parents seeing that the daughter is OK. The hand kissing has nothing to do with sex, it's just a traditional greeting for elders. Some don't like it, some do.

kissing hands is a verification and announcement of having sex to the elder people? hahaha it's so funny.

I'm sorry but how can they, after 3 days, see that the daughter is OK? And, why would they decide that AFTER the marriage, considering they probably already gave permission for one?

I don't know the real reason behind the hand-kissing, it is just my opinion that way. Turkish friends of mine are embarassed to go hand-kissing, because of what I said.

People kiss elders hands all the time DK, as I said, it has absolutly nothing to do with sex. Probably your Turkish friends are embarassed to kiss elders hands because they know your attitude towards it. Granted, there are many Turks who are ashamed of their culture and want to be "Modern". There are also some who want to be humble and don't want their hands kissed.

I don't have any problem with hand kissing. I've kissed hands and had mine kissed, as well as refused having my hand kissed.

As for seeing the daughter, one who knows their child can read their expressions and get an idea of the girl is happy or sad from looking at her.

After all these traditional rituals, please dont forget to give the blood stained bed linen to the people waiting behind your bedroom door in order to go full monty on the issue and tell your kids proudly in the future that you had a proper traditional wedding.

it seems a vast majority of female users in this site prefer this type of marriage becouse you wonder it. i hope y'all find good dudus from Turchia to apply this wed. (by the way dudu means parrot, as i read in a dictionary. it's very ridiculous and absurd to call your boyfriends as "dudu") quasi y'all making fun of them, but apparently men are superior than women whether you accept it or not. only stupid men wanna be dominated by the sly women. anyway, hope you'll be happy.

When I was 14 marriage hadn't even been invented yet! lol



I have a friend in Turkey who maried when he was 22 and his wife was 14. It actually makes me feel a little queasy- a bit like child abuse. She got pregnant at 15 and had her son at 16.The son is now 16 and she also now has a 2 year old.



Funny how humans have not evolved much in 13.7 years. Marriage before 30 is just not very fun!


my bf's mom got married when she was 15, and his dad was about 17 or 18. I told him that maybe they loved each other a lot to get married at a young age. He said no. It was arranged. He is 22 now, turning 23... and he thinks he's not so young to get married.
