Kardesimin Kina gecesini dun yaptik / We had my brother's 'Henna Night' before the wedding

Kardesimin Kina gecesini yaptik dun, elimizden geldigince Geleneklere ozgu sarkilarimizi soyleyip danslarimizi ettik. Gelinimiz Banu Adapazarli olunca oranin geleneksel kiyafetini giymisti, giriste malum gelin ve damat ardindan genc kizlarin tasidigi mumlarla gelen kinalar, oturtuk geln ve damadi ortaya etrafinda dans edip sarkilarimizi soyledik, sagolsun benim kuzenler alincada mikrofonu dokturdu eski turkulerimizden.. Ben daha cok Hindistanliya benziyorum, gelinimiz geleneksel kiyafetini giyince benimkisisde farkli olsun dedim. Guzel bir gece gecirdik.

As tradition before the wedding night, we do organised 'Henna Night' as called; 'Kina gecesi ' Single girls carries candles in their hand with stuck into Henna, and make the bride and groom sit in middle of the stage and tried to make the bride to cry and with the songs, try to remind her; she is leaving her parents home now:) we dance around them and sing.

I look like more Indian then a Turk, I though will be different while the bride is wearing traditional Turkish costume.Here is some pictures from the night.
