Your presence at our wedding after traveling from across the world is the most meaningful gift.

(Really)

However, if you would like to fully immerse yourself in the Turkish wedding experience, it’s customary to give a small gold coin, called a cumhuriyet altını (“republic gold”), at the reception. These coins can be purchased from any kuyumcu (Turkish jeweler) in full (7.216g), half, quarter, or 1-gram sizes.

In place of other gifts, we kindly ask for donations to the Darüşşafaka Society, a charity that Neşe had the privilege to work with in a past professional life. The society provides fully residential middle and high school education to children who have lost one or both parents, and has done so for over 150 years.
