The average cost of a wedding in Istanbul has reached 1 million liras. According to the Planning Agency (İPA), Turks spend 850,000 liras (≈ $20.7 thousand) for a simple wedding, and 982,000 liras (≈ $23.9 thousand) for an open-air wedding. These calculations do not include henna, engagement, jewelry-wearing ceremonies, and honeymoon expenses. Don't be surprised, the situation in Uzbekistan is no different.
