Turkish Wedding Vows
A Muslim couple often do not recite vows; their attendance at the wedding is sufficient to attest their commitment to one another. But when vows are spoken, here are the traditional words used in Turkiye.
We are grateful to Mrs T B of Kuşadası for sending these words to us. She also kindly sent the English translation shown.
