Surname

"As it is known, Surname is the book that describes and describes the rich feasts, colorful ceremonies, great entertainments, extraordinary shows, and all these festivities that took place in the Ottoman era with the participation of the public and lasted for several days, due to joyful events such as marriage, wedding-association, and circumcision. In other words, Surnâme is called. In short, it means a wedding book. It is easily understood that these weddings are the weddings of sultans and princes, not those who were married because they could not pay the bride price and kidnapped their bridesmaids.

In the Republican period, these festivities in the Ottoman Empire were held for forty days and forty nights

For example, although such weddings, associations, engagement ceremonies with rotating sites, unprecedented feasts, unheard of ceremonies, openings with alcoholic festivities and all kinds of festivals have been held, unfortunately, a Republic Surname describing all these has not been written until today. So, writing a Surname during the Republic period was a blessing for the poor. Happy is me to the poor!”
