The Wedding Crashers

From the roof terrace restaurant on top of our hotel we could hear the celebration going on. Music and laughter drifted up towards us.

We decided that during our after dinner stroll we would walk by and casually take a discreet look. Maybe snap a quick photo if we thought no one would notice.

Should have known that would not work in Turkey. People here are remarkably friendly and generous.

No sooner had we casually walked past the entrance than we found ourselves being invited in to join the festivities. We stayed for awhile and then because of the late hour had to depart amid a flurry of "Thank You", "Good night", "May Allah Bless you".

Don't believe me about this backdoor experience?

Here is some proof....


The Bride and Groom Dance Alone.


Everyone watches the Bride and Groom (mostly the Bride!)


Three Generations Enjoy the Wedding!
