We went to a Gypsy Wedding 💃 🌸 Circumcision Wedding 👦

---

Hello.

There are quite a lot of gypsy people in the region I live in (Thrace). Their neighborhood is within walking distance of us. They are Roman people. There is a woman who visits our neighborhood, collects recycled products and makes a living with it. Sometimes we chat when we meet on the street. Sometimes we support him when he needs help. She said that her granddaughter will have a circumcision wedding and she would be happy to see us there. For the first time, I was invited to a gypsy wedding. They generally live with their own people and take care of each other. I was very surprised and happy that he invited us.

Many people are prejudiced against gypsy people, but I think this is very wrong. I think they are the funniest people. Whenever they hear music, especially novel music. They stop whatever they are doing and start dancing. They make flashy clothes and hair and they don't care who says what. In short, they are fun people. That's why I always wondered about their wedding.

By the way, let me briefly talk about what circumcision wedding means. "Circumcision is the cutting of a part of the foreskin that covers and protects the glans penis in men so that the glans is exposed. It is a must in Islam. It is also said that circumcision is beneficial for health. Although penile cancer is rare, it is said to occur mostly in uncircumcised cases.

Having a wedding is entirely the choice of families. Some families celebrate it by praying, while others celebrate it by having fun. We call entertainment a wedding. In other words, we do not call the entertainment organized only by the newlyweds as a wedding. We call all organizations that are entertainment "weddings".

When we went to the wedding place, I realized that it was actually a fair-style entertainment. The music orchestra had already taken its place and started playing gypsy music. We sat in our chairs and started watching. Gypsies have their own dances and I really like this dance. Especially my mother loved this dance and tried to learn it on her own. My mother came to the wedding with me. My mother is a woman who adapts to every environment. She got up without hesitation and tried to embroider she. Seeing this, a few gypsies came to him and began to teach him the game. You can also see my mother in many images. I think the person who had the most fun among us was my mother. :) The person with jeans and fabric on his waist is my mother. You can see how much fun she was having.

The woman who invited us to the wedding saw that I was filming and started to play her local game. By the way, I took the images with the permission of the entertainment owner. I can share it here because they allow it.

After a while, the circumcised boy and his mother came on the stage and danced together. A local dress on a little boy. In fact, if I could stay until the end of the wedding, I would show you the henna ceremony for the circumcision child, but I left the wedding early because I would be late. Henna is usually applied to the circumcised child's fingers holding a gun, accompanied by songs. In our country, henna is applied to men who will join the military, to women who are going to marry, and to most circumcised people. Especially if it is going to be burned to the person to be married, they reserve a day before the wedding for henna fun. The women gather and dance among themselves, have fun among themselves, and henna is applied to the bride in the midst of entertainment. If I go to the henna night one day, I will shoot and share that moment for you.

The meaning of henna can vary between regions. Some burn it for health, some for beauty. The circumcision child's aunt burns henna. His aunt's parents must be alive. While applying henna, wishes are made to the child for a long life.

By the way, money and gold are always worn at weddings. This is to support the wedding makers. The gypsies do it a little differently because they say the name of the person who is giving money and gold gifts over the microphone so that everyone can hear it. We never do that at our weddings because we don't want anyone to be offended. Still, I love this tradition. Weddings can be costly, but with the financial support of the guests, people can relax a little financially. Supporting newly married couples is a very good example. Many people may not have the money to marry, and they can make up for their deficiencies with the financial support they receive.

I had to leave the party because it was late. While saying goodbye, I thanked the wedding owner for inviting me to their wedding and giving me this experience. They were very warm and caring people. It makes me happy to witness and learn about different cultures and traditions. Still, I can say that my mother had the most fun of the night. Tired of dancing, she fell asleep lying in front of the TV as soon as she got home.

I wanted to share this experience I had for the first time with you. I got a little headache when I got home because the music was too loud, but overall it was a fun night. Thank you for reading and supporting. I will continue to share with you interesting things that I have experienced like this. Take care, see you again.
