Wedding plays a significant role in the lives of the Uzbeks and is celebrated with solemnity. From the birth of their first child, families save money throughout the lifetime for one big event- wedding and many of its pre and post rituals.
One of the pre-wedding events is engagement ceremony – “Fatiha tuy”when groom’s side comes to the house of the girl who has been proposed to. After guests tell the purpose of their visit “Non sindirish” ( “Breaking of a scone”) is being performed and the day of marriage is fixed. From this moment young people are engaged.
