    Turkish Weddings
    Customs & Traditions

    A male figure or close relative to the bride (usually a brother) wraps a red ribbon named the “Maidenhood Belt” around the bride’s waist three times before finally tying it.
    After the formal signing of the marriage document, the bride or groom will try effortlessly to step on their partner’s foot to symbolise who has ‘dominance’ or who calls the shots in the relationship. More than anything it’s a good laugh for both the groom and brides families.
