In our country, the marriage ceremony has a deep-rooted tradition. This tradition has remained unchanged for centuries. The men's side must fulfill all the conditions regarding this ceremony and know how to win the hearts of both the elders and the bride. In this article, we have prepared in detail for you the preparations and the things to be taken before the girl request ceremony. Here are the do's and don'ts for the wedding ceremony.

Preparations Before the Girl Request Ceremony The most important part of the preparations before the ceremony is the "determination of the day" part. If the male or female side is working, it would be much more logical to choose Saturday or Sunday. In order to facilitate the preparation of the girl's side, at least one week's notice should be given. Friday or other weekdays can be challenging and stressful for people, and this stress can be reflected in the request ceremony. In the meantime, it should be ensured that there is no important activity during those hours. (Derby match, special hours, etc.)

Things to Take When Going to Ask for a Girl One of the frequently asked questions is what should be taken when going to ask a girl. In order to leave a good impression, the preparations should be completed without any deficiencies. 1- Flower There is no doubt that the flower comes first among the things that should be taken to the begging ceremony. Rose or lily is one of the most popular flowers. However, orchids can also be taken, depending on preference. The appearance is more important than the number of flowers. For this reason, a selection of fresh flowers should be prepared during the morning journey. Preferring the flowers sold with the vase can make the girl's side happier. The flowers to be taken with the vase can be kept as a lifetime keepsake, as well as a good desktop decoration.

2- Chocolate Chocolate, as well as flowers, is another detail that should not be skipped during preparation. “At this point, the most important point is the presentation of chocolate rather than its taste. Chocolate should never be in a cardboard box. Special presentation bowls, also called chocolate gondolas, are frequently preferred in girl request and engagement ceremonies. Apart from this, a selection can be made among the chocolate presentations consisting of special authentic baskets or trays. In chocolate gondolas, the options have increased. Silver and gold-colored gondolas have become popular in girls' begging ceremonies in recent years. One of the old-fashioned models can also be purchased and given to the girl as a gift.

Promise Ring Promise ring is a tradition that should be taken when going to ask a girl. By following this tradition, a gold ring can be preferred that can win the admiration of the other party. Depending on preference, single or multi-stone rings can be purchased. Coffee Serving at the Girl Request Ceremony The coffee offering, which has now become a tradition, is an indispensable part of the girl request ceremonies. This tradition, which dates back to the Ottoman Empire, has been going on in these lands for centuries. Coffee was a precious beverage that was scarce in ancient times. The groom-to-be should drink the water before the coffee, and should not drink any more water after sipping his coffee. This was an important detail that was taken care of so that the taste of coffee in the mouth did not change. Nowadays, the attention is usually given to salty coffee. Salted coffee had different meanings in ancient times. At that time, the meaning of salty coffee was that the bride-to-be did not want the groom-to-be. In this tradition, which has been going on for a long time, the bride-to-be conveyed a naive message that she did not want the groom-to-be. If the coffee was not salty, it would indicate that it was accepted. After the ceremony of asking the girl is over and the bride is given, it is time for the hand kissing ceremony. The groom kisses the hands of his own parents, the bride's parents. Afterwards, the bride kisses the hands of her and the groom's parents in the same way. In some traditions, the groom may kiss the bride before the ceremony ends. This is how the marriage ceremony ends. Things to do now are for engagement and wedding preparations.
