Hilmi Cem İntepe and Pırıl Atasev's First Wedding Dance Sparks Social Media Buzz
Long-time couple Hilmi Cem İntepe and Pırıl Atasev finally tied the knot. Their wedding, held in Istanbul, was a spectacle of vibrant scenes from the get-go. As you might guess, the highlight of the evening was the first dance of the two dance enthusiasts. Accompanied by Nilüfer's song 'Son Arzum,' the couple showcased a daring choreography that was more akin to a professional stage show than a romantic wedding dance. However, the footage that hit social media didn't impress everyone equally; the couple's first dance, filled with intricate moves and lifts, quickly became the subject of heated discussion. Let's delve into the relationship of Hilmi Cem İntepe and Pırıl Atasev, from their courtship to their wedding, and that infamous first dance that split social media opinion.
Hilmi Cem İntepe, who came into our lives with Survivor, has finally tied the knot!
Hilmi Cem İntepe first gained widespread recognition through his participation in Survivor 2013, and it wouldn't be wrong to say that. İntepe, who stood out as one of the most noticeable contestants due to his athleticism and particularly his talent in dance, managed to carve out a completely new career for himself in the television industry after emerging as the champion of the season.
İntepe, who has appeared in numerous productions such as Çalıkuşu, Bodrum Masalı, Tek Yürek, and Hür, has never severed his ties with dance alongside his acting career. In fact, it's worth noting that he was professionally involved in dance before stepping into the world of television.
Hilmi Cem İntepe, who prefers to keep his private life as far away from the public eye as possible, has been in a relationship with professional dancer Pırıl Atasev for a long time. The couple, who have been together for years, decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting married; İntepe proposed to Atasev in London in 2024.
The couple, who have been sharing the same home for nearly four years, finally set a date for their long-awaited wedding and tied the knot in a ceremony held in Sarıyer, Istanbul on August 19, 2026.
Originally, they were going to tie the knot in Italy, but when plans changed, a lively and crowded Istanbul wedding emerged.
Hilmi Cem İntepe and Pırıl Atasev's initial plan was not to hold a grand wedding in Istanbul. The couple explained to the press that they had envisioned a rather small and modest event in Italy, but due to complications in the visa process, they were forced to alter their plans.
Consequently, the destination was switched to Istanbul, and it turned out to be a fortuitous change as the couple hosted a highly animated night with their friends.
Furthermore, the fun began even before the wedding kicked off. The groom's friends, who did not leave Hilmi Cem alone during his pre-wedding shave, took the traditional wedding rituals a bit too seriously and turned the event into something akin to a car wash. The amusing scenes of the friends washing İntepe with brushes and water quickly spread on social media.
Later, Hilmi Cem İntepe set off in a red, nostalgic car to pick up Pırıl Atasev. As for Atasev, she opted for a white suit instead of a traditional wedding dress when leaving the house, signaling from the very first moments that the night would be somewhat different from the usual weddings.
The wedding, which took place in Sarıyer, brought together familiar faces from the entertainment world. Among the couple's wedding witnesses were Hilmi Cem's close friends Murat Ceylan and Çağan Atakan Arslan, who have been close since his Survivor years.
As the night progressed, it was time for what was already expected from both: dancing.
When two professional dancers tie the knot, we certainly wouldn't expect their "first dance" to end with just a couple of sways to the right and left!
Pırıl Atasev, a professional dancer and choreographer, and Hilmi Cem İntepe, with his long-standing serious dance background, were inevitably the center of attention for their first dance at their wedding. However, it appears that the couple decided to set the bar a notch higher than expected.
Hilmi Cem and Pırıl chose Nilüfer's song 'Son Arzum' for their first dance. Yet, what emerged was less of a traditional wedding dance and more of a pre-planned professional stage performance.
The advantages of the couple's long-standing immersion in dance were abundantly felt in the choreography prepared with spins, lifts, and quick transitions. Pırıl Atasev also adapted her wedding dress to suit the dance, stepping onto the dance floor later in the evening in a shorter attire that allowed for greater freedom of movement.
While some social media users admired the couple's harmony and professionalism, commenting along the lines of 'This is how a wedding dance should be done', others found the choreography too ambitious and 'show-like' for a wedding. In particular, the lifting figures and the high tempo of the dance were widely discussed on social media. In short, the performance pitted those who appreciated it against those who thought 'Isn't it a bit much?'.
