I actually got see a TC weding once in Bogazi. It was real interesting.

I think their traditions are similar. They invite everyone too.

There is a little fishing village north of famagusta as you drive up the pan handle toward the Cape Apostolos Andreas.

I might have got the name wrong.

There's another Bogazi village in Kyrenia district, near Halil's village. :wink:

I forgot to mention that you were all cordially invited to Yialoser’s and Kurupet’s wedding but I didn’t post the ad because it was in France! :(

They are currently honeymooning at the “Champs Elysees” in gay Pari. :D

In a statement earlier today Kurupet said…

“So far (the marriage) so good… in fact the only time we argue is over sex because we both want to be on the receiving end all the time!”

:lol:

A little later Yialoser explained…

“I hope Kurupet is into open marriages because I’m thinking of introducing a couple of blacks into the relationship with a view to a long term commitment!”

:?

Both Greek and Turkish Cypriots have very similar receptions with small variations. They both enter the reception together and walk around the venue three times to claps from the guests.

The Greek Cypriots do the walk to violin music, while Turkish Cypriots walk to drums. see TC wedding :

Food and drink will be plentiful and the dancing will often continue through the night. The families of both the bride and groom usually dance together to emphasise the families becoming one.

One Turkish Cypriot wedding dance not performed by Greek Cypriots is the Testi (pot) dance. The single girls dance in a circle, taking it in turns to dance in the centre of the circle with the pot. When they have all danced individually, the pot will be smashed on the floor by either the bride or groom, revealing sweets and pennies inside for the children. The old fashioned interpretation of the pot smashing is to do the bride losing her virginity.
