We went to Adana for Turkay's (our old language teacher) wedding. Shiloh and I went to a Henna Gecesi, which is the celebration the night before the wedding. It was a night full of dancing and Shiloh LOVED it. She spent most of her time standing as close as she could and watching everyone dance. She even got out there with the bride (the one in purple) to dance.
After all the dancing a tray with candles was brought out along the henna. The bride chooses an older women she respects to put the henna in her had as a sort of blessing. It was such a neat cultural event for me and Shiloh.
