Uzbek wedding is one of the must-see events for all foreigners. This is the most important occasions for not only the two young people, but also for their families, relatives and friends. That is the reason why uzbeks give all they have for this special day, as they say: Uzbeks work and earn money all their lives in order to spend it on this one day! And how strange it may sound, it is the truth…
You will be just shocked at the amount of guests, who visit on this wedding day! From early morning come men, including neighbors, relatives, family friends and colleagues. In the afternoon you will see unending chain of women guests and finally in the evening, when bride and groom get together, they start the main party. Everyone congratulates them and offer a dance.
Unlike Kyrgyz traditions, there is no such thing as “kidnapping a girl” in Uzbek culture. What they usually do is to go around neighborhoods and ask for a good girl for their prince charming. Then they visit that house, let the boy and girl meet and talk to each other. In case if they like one another, then there is a good news: they can start preparing for the wedding!
