I'm way behind with the telling of the things I've been experiencing, so this is not really up to date, but I still wanted to share: I've been spontaneously invited to come to a turkish wedding - by strangers, who I had met on the bus. They seemed like nice normal Turkish boys, so I said yes and we went there one week later (this was actually December). I've never even been to a German wedding party, and then I got to go to a Turkish one - completely different culture! Sooo many people there!
I was totally doing that traditional dance with them... At least trying.
At some point the couple is standing there, their family and friends gather and then make presents: The bride gets jewelry made of gold clipped to her dress and the groom gets lots and lots of money onto his sash (well, I guess that helps to pay for the huge festivities).
