Description (auto translated):
Along the Asian shores of the Bosphorus accompanies a colorful procession a bride to the house of her groom. The bride riding on horseback, under a canopy carried by four men. Directly in front of the tent is the imam who will bless the marriage. They could hear from afar the parade through the music. The pyramid-shaped tower, made of gold branches in the form of corn, is a symbol of fertility. On the other side of the castle Rumeli Hisari.
