And so was it Saturday, the big day, my friends wedding.

We left home around 10.00, once again to the ferry station and a pleasant boat ride to Kadikoj (or how it is spelled).

a German built train station is passed on the way.

and then the wedding! A formal ceremony in turkish and I dont understand much more than it is the lady in white and the gentleman in black next to her who is getting married. The other two gentlemen are there to witness it or  something. And guy in red the man in charge.

After being declared married all guests line up outside to give their wishes to the couple and take photos.

After the ceremony Emre took us for a walk in the neighborhood before going for lunch at another friends house. Along the way we saw the famous bull of Kadikoj.

The guy to the left is the Swedish one (me!)

Since we lived far away from the wedding ceremony place we were invited to a friend of Ali’s house for lunch.. And what a lunch!

After having lunch and resting with many cups of Turkish tea, we left for the wedding dinner!

Ali, the married one!
