Seda Sayan once again made a splash in the tabloid agenda with her remarks on her YouTube program. Drawing attention to rising wedding costs, the famous singer advised young couples, "Just have a civil ceremony and share your IBAN."

Famous artist Seda Sayan made striking recommendations for young people preparing for marriage in the latest episode of her program broadcast on Kafa Tv's YouTube channel. Stating that traditional weddings have now become a serious financial burden, Sayan emphasized the cost of jewelry ceremonies and wedding organizations in particular.

"THE LINING COSTS MORE THAN THE FACE"

Sayan argued that the financial support expected from jewelry ceremonies does not cover the expenses incurred, saying, "You hold a wedding to collect gold. But the lining costs more than the face. Don't bother, just have a civil ceremony, give an IBAN."

"THE TROUSSEAU THING IS ALSO UNNECESSARY"

Sayan also criticized the trousseau tradition at weddings, saying it has turned into an unnecessary expense. The famous singer, who argued that providing direct financial support is more sensible, said, "Actually, IBAN is smart. At least you send money directly."

Referring to wedding habits from past years, Seda Sayan stated, "They used to watch the jewelry ceremony on camera. They kept a tally of who wore what. Then they expected the same jewelry back."

ADVICE TO HER SON: "GET MARRIED ABROAD"

The famous artist revealed that she also advised her son, Oğulcan Engin, to get married abroad. Sayan, stating that it is impossible to please everyone in large wedding organizations, said, "You can't please anyone. They won't like the food, they'll find fault with the wedding dress. There will even be someone who doesn't like the lemonade."

MARRIED ÇAĞLAR ÖKTEN IN 2022

Seda Sayan married musician Çağlar Ökten in 2022. The couple's marriage was widely discussed in the tabloid press for a long time.
