Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took upon himself the role of a matchmaker when he asked Moroccan beauty queen İmane Elbani to marry famous Turkish actor Murat Yıldırım.

According to the information portal Haberler, the Turkish president met with Yildirim and Elbani in Esenboğa Airport in Ankara.

During their conversation it became clear that although the young people had gotten engaged, there had been no traditional matchmaking ceremony.

So, Erdogan decided to fix that situation!

​The president got in touch with the bride’s father living in Morocco via FaceTime mobile application and asked him for his daughter’s hand in marriage to Murat Yildirim.

It is reported that the family of the Moroccan beauty agreed to everyone’s delight.

Erdogan’s wife, Emine Erdogan, who was accompanying her husband, also congratulated the newlywed couple.

In his turn, Murat Yildirim gave his beloved new bride an unprecedented reception in Turkey. Imane Elbani was greeted by the sounds of the ancient Turkish musical instruments and greetings.

​Imane Elbani comes from an influential family in Morocco and she held the title of beauty queen in 2006.
