Growing Up in 16 Years

Guests for Preparation

My sister's about to get married and the very first step in Turkey for marriage is "Soz" which can be translated as promise where boy's family come and ask if their son and the girl can get married to elder people in family. It will be this Saturday, but before that before girls marry, boy's family buy some traditional things to be used when they get married. They are packed by the all women in both families and they are called "Bohca". So, this is what happens when all women from both families come our house. In Turkish, there is an idiom "Cami onu gibi" which means "it is like in front of mosque in praying time". We were really crowded and I'm really happy for my sister.
