How are the wedding ceremonies in your country? Do you have a different tradition performed at wedding ceremonies? For example, here, when the bride says yes, she steps on the man's foot. If he succeeds, it is assumed that the woman will have the upper hand in that house. (It's an old belief, but now it's done just for laughs)

The same custom exists in Serbia as well :) And it has remained to this day. I really like it :)

I love too. In particular, we also have a request for a girl. In other words, when the boy and the girl decide to get married, the boy comes to the girl's house and asks for the girl from her father. In fact, it kind of gets his consent, his approval. Here, too, salty coffee is made for the groom-to-be by the girl. And here, while the groom is drinking coffee, we understand that if he drinks all of it, the man will endure all kinds of difficulties for the girl and that he loves the girl very much. But now everyone drinks that coffee with salt. That's why, even though it doesn't make much sense, it is done just to see the groom's face while drinking and for fun. Turks have a lot of customs regarding this and similar wedding process. :)) I think we love weddings very much :))

Salty coffee, hahahaha, very interesting! :))) In Serbia, different parts of the country have different customs. In my area, for example, it is customary for an older woman from the bride's side (an aunt, for example) to prepare a sweet cake, which is popularly called "Mother's cake". This cake is then served to the guests, it is customary for each guest to try at least one small piece.

How beautiful. It is very sweet to have a cake prepared with effort for the person they love. In our country, this cake is usually bought from the patisserie. But at this point, maybe it would have been more fun and meaningful if our elders had prepared it :) Yes, Turks have countless wedding traditions. For example, the girl's family is at the groom, the groom's family is preparing a chest for the girl. There are many items in the chest such as perfume, pajamas, shirts, slippers, trousers and socks. On the wedding day, when the groom comes to pick up the bride from the house, just as he is about to leave the door, the bride's brother or a small child is holding the door and says the door will not open. Actually, of course, the door opens :)) But it says the door does not open. This actually carries the message "you have to pay for the door to open". Especially little kids do it for fun. It happened at our wedding, too, and my husband gave money. If the child who receives the money does not like the amount of money, he can say that the door still does not open. Of course, at this point, it is important that a merciful person holds the door :)) :)) :))

A similar or almost the same custom is in Serbia. Usually the bride's brother (if there is one) or a relative stands at the door, and with him several children who do not let the groom enter until he gives them a certain amount of money :))) Of course, if they are not satisfied with the amount, they still won't let him to come in to pick up the bride :) And my husband stood in front of the door for half an hour, my brother "tortured" him a bit :))))))

Hahahahaha. It has been a difficult wait for your husband :)) I was very surprised. I knew that we were close cultures with Serbia, but I had never realized that we had such a similar tradition.
We really have a lot in common, no wonder I can't wait for the summer to go to Turkey again :)))
