Everything you should know about a Turkish wedding

Weddings are an essential part of every culture, and feature differences small and large in just about every country in the world. Turkey is such a melting pot of cultures, civilizations and histories that it's no surprise that its weddings have turned into something completely unique to Turkey alone.

Gold and money are the main wedding gifts in Turkey, and there's typically even a ceremony after the official marriage is complete. The bride and groom don sashes and guests come up one by one to take pictures with them and pin gold or money onto the sashes. The money is then supposed to be used to help the couple get started in life, whether to buy a house or anything else they need to begin their new lives together.
