A Kazakh wedding is a vibrant celebration that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people. Traditionally, it involves various rituals, including the bride's kidnapping (known as "ala kachuu"), where the groom's friends help him to "steal" the bride. The ceremony often features colorful attire, traditional music, and dances, showcasing the community's joy and support for the couple. The wedding festivities can last several days, with a series of events such as the nikah (Islamic marriage ceremony) and a grand feast. Guests enjoy traditional dishes like beshbarmak, a dish made of boiled meat and pasta, symbolizing hospitality and abundance.
