The generous idea came from groom’s father, Ali Üzümcüoğlu. He said: “I thought that sharing a big delicious dinner with our family and friends was unnecessary, knowing that there are so many people in need living next door.

So I came up with this idea and shared it with my son. I’m very happy that he accepted it and they started their new happy journey with such a selfless action.” Bride Esra was delighted to be able to share her special day with those in need. .

She said: “I was shocked when Fethullah first told me about the idea but afterwards I was won over by it. It was such a wonderful experience. I’m happy that we had the opportunity to share our wedding meal with the people who are in real need.”….. n not with ppl who bought our “Aso ebi.”….
