The Far West China blog has published a series of posts giving an in-depth look at a Uighur wedding ceremony. From the introduction:
This week will be dedicated to an incredible Xinjiang tradition known as the Uyghur wedding. I’ve had the privilege of attending many weddings in Xinjiang over the past few years and I have already written about my experiences taking part in a Chinese Wedding.
But much has already been written about Chinese weddings. Too much, probably. However, if you begin searching Google for information about a modern Uyghur wedding you won’t find any decent material in English. I hope to change that.
Several of the posts include videos, including this one of the wedding parade:
