An RTX 5090, RAM, and a CPU for the wedding. A user gifted this to a friend for their marriage. Usually, it is customary to give gold at a Turkish wedding.
What exactly can be seen? In a video that was shared on Reddit, a person is seen giving gifts to a Turkish wedding couple. First, the person drapes a GeForce RTX 5090 in its packaging around the groom’s neck, then gives the bride 4 sticks of RAM, and finally hangs an Intel CPU around the groom’s neck.
With the current rising prices, the gift is likely to have considerable value: According to the poster, the RTX 5090 currently costs about 3,600 euros in Turkey.
Nevertheless, the user or streamer is breaking an important Turkish tradition.
Instead of traditional gold jewelry, there is computer hardware here
Why does this break with traditions? At a Turkish wedding, it is traditionally customary to give gold jewelry: Gold symbolizes prosperity, happiness, and financial security. During the “Takı Merasimi” ceremony, guests typically gift gold coins or gold bracelets that are directly placed on the couple (via Celinni.com).
The gold is considered the starting capital for the marriage, which can later be used to pay for things like a car, a house, or other purchases. But instead of gold jewelry, the person hangs hardware around the couple’s necks.
There are also several comments on Reddit criticizing the gift for this very reason: After all, it should be a gift for the couple. Gold or something similar would have been a long-term investment for them. However, some reply that the value of the hardware could indeed correspond to a quarter’s salary.
The gift seems to be well-received: Both the bride and groom are excited about the friend’s gift.
