Antiquity became a region dominated by the Phrygians, Hittites, Lydians, Romans, Seljuks and Ottomans according to the
stone ruins in the field. Dodurga one of the twenty-four sizes of Oghuzes, seems to be influenced by different cultures although
it has preserved its own culture as much as possible. In this study, in Dodurga weddings, which have a rich cultural structure,
