[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Opening birthday presents in front of guests during the party.  Just no![/quote]

We went to a Turkish wedding and they started opening the gifts on stage. [/quote]

No, they didn't. You should have read up on this. This kind of information is readily available on the internet.

This is their tradition of the  family and close friends publically giving gold to the newlywed as a show of support to them from the family. It’s actually a high-energy event called the Takı Töreni (Jewelry Ceremony). I think it is very sweet.  They also give gold coins that they pin on the couple or put it in their bags.  Just showering them with wealth and support

Gifts given by other guests (like household goods etc) are not opened. They are kept at a side table.

In many Asian cultures, gold jewelry is given to the newlyweds by relatives so that they start off with amassing some wealth/capital.    In my culture, any jewelry given to the bride throughout her life as gift, inheritance, generational wealth, prize, winnings  or through her own earnings belongs only to her and is not part of the marital property,.
