Wow | Love in Istanbul
https://loveinistanbul.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/wow
Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? September 16, 2014. I have to record this moment somehow. It probably won’t mean anything to anyone but me, but a public record of some sort makes me feel I am being more appreciative. As friends and family from all parts of my life slowly start converging on Istanbul as the days tick down, it’s only just dawning on me: I am getting married in three days. Wow. English weddings, Turkish weddings: a cultural comparison (part 2). 4 thoughts on “ Wow. This blo...

What it’s like to be a gelin in Turkey | Love in Istanbul
https://loveinistanbul.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/being-a-gelin
Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? What it’s like to be a gelin in Turkey. August 6, 2014. I’m just back from another fairly breathless trip to E’s hometown for Bayram (Eid ul-Fitr). Like the last time we went, the week was filled with visiting and being visited, elaborate breakfasts, incredible picnics, going to weddings and henna nights, and (this time at least) a startling amount of dancing (more on this later). Ah, bizim gelin geldi. The Turkish concept of being a. Being a card carrying...

Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? English weddings, Turkish weddings: a cultural comparison (part 2). September 10, 2014. After dealing with the sometimes unnervingly large differences between ceremony, dress and gift-giving in part 1 of this post. On the cultural differences between English and Turkish weddings, here is part 2:. Tell you whether or not they can make it, you. Know how many people are coming to your wedding, and people who have not been invited will. To no avail (well, thre...

Anger on the islands: a cursed trip to the Prince’s Islands | Love in Istanbul
https://loveinistanbul.wordpress.com/2014/08/18/anger-on-the-islands-a-cursed-trip-to-the-princes-islands
Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? Anger on the islands: a cursed trip to the Prince’s Islands. August 18, 2014. Yesterday, E and I decided to go to the Prince’s Islands for an afternoon of cycling, swimming and picnicking. What we got was perhaps the greatest test of our relationship yet. Face sweat). Where sleep just doesn’t come. Annoying, but not the end of the world. We bowl up to the Şehir Hatları terminal, the big, municipality-owned ferry service whose boats to the islands usual...

How we tried to reach cross-cultural wedding nirvana | Love in Istanbul
https://loveinistanbul.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/cross-cultural-wedding
Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? How we tried to reach cross-cultural wedding nirvana. October 1, 2014. Today the very last of our wedding guests FINALLY pushed off, ten days after the day itself, and suddenly we are left alone to contemplate this whole being married malarkey. Scary stuff. And my gratitude wasn’t just confined to my guests the wedding and all the months leading up to it really made me feel like I’d become a real part of E’s family once and for all. But still. It. Instead ...

Istanbul – Shopping Delight | Irish Gelin-Irish Bride
https://irishgelin.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/istanbul-shopping-delight
What to do in Istanbul. Istanbul – Shopping Delight. January 8, 2015. It is quite a different experience to shop in Turkey. I am surprised that Istanbul has not obtained a shopping city status such as NYC since there are so many shopping centres and markets. Firstly before you know about the shopping centres/areas, know some of the Turkish brands. If you are going to shop in Istanbul don’t limit yourself to the known western brands. Turkish designers are just as good. Vakko, Beymen, Pasabahce. I have nev...
