In the Düziçi district of Osmaniye, a couple who got married received a decorated calf instead of gold as a gift.
A CALF INSTEAD OF GOLD FOR THE GROOM
During the jewelry ceremony at the wedding held in Düziçi district, Uğurcan Okuşlu gifted the groom a live calf decorated with ribbons instead of gold. This surprise, which took place at the wedding of bride Sıla Özdemir and groom Mehmet Özdemir, was met with astonishment among the guests.
DIDN'T FORGET THE BOTTLE EITHER
As the decorated calf, brought into the hall, was handed over to the groom amid curious glances from the guests, Uğurcan Okuşlu also drew attention by gifting the calf's baby bottle. Those moments were recorded with mobile phone cameras.
“SINCE GOLD PRICES ARE A BIT HIGH...”
Stating that he chose a different gift due to the rise in gold prices, Uğurcan Okuşlu said, "I am involved in cattle and sheep farming. My friend had a wedding. I was undecided about whether to bring gold or money to the jewelry ceremony at his wedding. Since gold prices were also a bit high, I made a different choice instead of exchanging a calf for a gold coin. I said, 'Instead of bringing a Republic gold coin, let me bring an Adana gold bracelet,' and I brought the calf to him. Frankly, I didn't know it would attract so much attention on social media. I am very pleased; he was also quite happy. I also handed over its bottle. I hope he raises the calf in the coming days. I would like to include him in production as well."
