So I couldn't caption the Culture Day photos correctly with the formating. In general, these pictures are of demonstrations of Kyrgyz cultural customs. They include a Russian wedding, a bride kidnapping (in this case a consensual kidnapping was shown- but the bride is still supposed to act as if it is nonconsenual), a first step ceremony where men run to the child and the first one there gets to snip a rope tying the legs together and take the child on his first steps, and a Turkish wedding complete with a man with knives- this is supposed to be a humorous symbol both threatening the bride if she should run, and hoping for a quiet wife (lest her tongue be cut out).
If you have any questions, feel free to email me or comment.
