My favourite parts of an Uzbek wedding

Kuyovnavkar, grooms - guys who go to the bride with the groom at the wedding, the groom's friends, peers. They first gather at the groom's house. The young men sing and play in front of the bride's door, in the yard, until they reach the bride's house (usually with trumpets). The Kuyovnavkar take the groom in and enter the room where the banquet table is set in the bride's house. They are given a feast, and they are served thick-liquid dishes. After the feast, the Kuyovnavkar put on the sarpan given to them by the bridegroom. They return to the wedding hall to continue the wedding ceremony. After the banquet in the provinces, the groom and the bride leave, leaving 2-3 young men. In some parts of Khorezm, the bride and groom go to the bride's parents after the wedding, not on the wedding day.
