We are going to a wedding in June in Istanbul. The bride was our au-pair thirteen years ago and she became, and has remained, a part of family ever since. She was the person who first introduced us to Turkey for holidays, and we've never stop coming since:D
So what is the norm for wedding gifts, particularly for someone who is important to you and the whole family? Not sure how much difference this will make, but the wedding is likely to be more secular than religous, if you see what I mean. Gold as a gift has been mentioned, but to be honest we haven't a clue what is 'expected' or what is normal wedding etiquette in these matters,
So any help, top tips or pointers about gifts in particular, but anything else to do with weddings that you can give to myself and Mrs Usedbustickets would be appreciated.
