Wakhi people are members of the Iranian ethno-linguistic group living in mountainous areas of the Pamir-Hindukush-Karakoram knot, in the heart of the geo-cultural region known as Central Asia. Their wedding ceremony, being an example of their distinctive culture, results from long-term preparations, which have roots far in history. As time has passed, of course, some more or less important details were omitted, left out or forgotten. On the other hand, new issues emerge within the ceremony and meet with sympathies or antipathies of society members. Informants who have interpreted gradual progression of the engagement ceremony, preparations for the wedding ceremony and their culmination were themselves aware that its traditional form and content is — even in its incomplete form — rarely practiced. Some of them are interested in preservation and largest possible revitalization of the original ceremony state, others would rather head towards the “Western” model.
