Though a man of the new generation, Yelszi's soul is rooted in the old ways — attentive, hardworking and deeply devoted to home and family. It was this blend of strength and gentleness that won Yesdawulti's heart, and their love story began to unfold against the backdrop of the majestic grasslands.
They chose to marry in autumn in the traditional way this year, when the air is crisp and the land painted in shades of amber and gold. The wedding was to be a journey, starting from Yesdawulti's family home in the winter pasture, and culminating in Yelszi's home village, a traditional wedding celebration stretching across the very land that shaped them.
