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.

This tradition dates back to the era when horses were used rather than cars. Now, a convoy of cars follows the bridal car and they drive all over the village/town/city in a row. Often the car stops and the "davul" and "zurna" play. People often honk horns as part of the convoy too. When the car stops, children will pour into the streets and ask the bridge and groom for pocket money, and the bride and groom typically have placed small sums of money into envelopes to hand out to children.
