At a wedding ceremony in Kastamonu, a calf was gifted to the bride and groom. The couple, who are engaged in livestock farming, fed the calf with a bottle at the wedding.
The couple Saliha Yaman and Musa Yaman, who reside in the city center, got married in a wedding ceremony. The groom Musa Yaman's uncle Gazi Salih Dıkkıloğlu and his cousin Emrah Dıkkıloğlu gifted the couple a 3-month-old Simmental calf during the gift ceremony. Bride Saliha and groom Musa Yaman fed the calf, which was given to them as a wedding gift, with a bottle.
"IT WAS A BIG SURPRISE"
The groom Musa Yaman, who makes a living through livestock farming, said, "We had our wedding last weekend. It was destined, we held our wedding, and the gift ceremony came. My uncle Salih Dıkkıloğlu and my cousin Emrah Dıkkıloğlu, may Allah bless them, gifted us a calf. We were very emotional and proud. Our friends and we had a great time. There was a lot of interest in our wedding. May Allah bless everyone."
Musa Yaman, who said they brought the gifted calf to their home in the Elyakut village center, stated, "I am engaged in livestock farming. This was a big surprise for us at the wedding. If it is destined, we brought the calf to our village. We put it in our barn, we will feed it and raise it," he said.
"WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE CALF LIKE OUR EYES"
Musa Yaman, who noted that there was a lot of interest in the gifted calf, said, "It was a moment that made me very proud and emotional at our wedding. May Allah bless our friends and everyone. I think it was a first in Kastamonu as well. There has never been a bride or groom who received a calf as a gift before. Everyone liked it. It left me with an unforgettable memory. It was very beautiful. We also brought the calf to the village. If it is destined, we will feed it, raise it, and take care of it like our eyes," he expressed.
"WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN WE SAW THE CALF"
The bride Saliha Yaman said, "I was very excited at the wedding. I was even more surprised when I saw that gift, the calf. But it became a beautiful memory for us. We will feed the calf in our village. We are used to receiving gold or money as gifts, so of course, we were surprised to see the calf. We actually liked it, but we were surprised as well, thank you to both of them," she stated.
"WE GIFTED A CALF FOR A CHANGE"
Gazi Salih Dıkkıloğlu, who gifted a 3-month-old calf to his niece as a wedding gift, said, "Since it was my niece's wedding, we wanted to do something unique. We thought about this. Together with my son Emrah, we gifted a calf to the groom. I believe it was a first in Kastamonu. Both Musa and I are engaged in the same business, livestock farming. We said let’s have a change in the gift ceremony. The value of this cannot be measured against gold or money. We decided to do this as a first, for a change, and we gifted a calf to my niece at the wedding. I was very emotional. My son also had his wedding 3 months ago. This was a second wedding for my niece. This feeling is indescribable. May God bring happiness to all our children. This feeling is really beautiful. May Allah bless all our guests, neighbors, and relatives," he said.
Salih Dıkkıloğlu, who stated that the calf is a 3-month-old Simmental calf, said, "It is a milk calf. We are still feeding it milk, and the groom also fed the calf milk at the wedding. I wish my niece a lifetime of happiness. May Allah grant them a long life together," he concluded.
