A wedding ceremony is a combination of two hearts in marriage. The purpose of the ritual is to avoid from sex and a slander about their relation. There are stages for wedding ceremony. The groom and the bride wear special clothes during the ceremony. The ritual begin with marriage contract (akad nikah) among the groom, “Tok Imam”, godparent (wali) and witness (saksi). Firstly, “Tok Imam” will hold the groom’s hand and say the words (lafaz). Then the groom has to repeat the words (lafaz) by himself clearly. If the witness (saksi) approve the words (lafaz), then its mean the groom and the bride are husband and wife legally. Next, the groom will put a ring to the bride finger and the bride greets her groom’s hand and kisses it. The ceremony doesn’t stop right there, but continuous to “persandingan” (sit close together). It happens the day after the marriage contract (akad nikah). A lot of people come in this ritual to see the bride and groom. The bride and groom sit together in special place with special cloth in same color. They eat together with guests and take pictures. After this day, the bride and groom will live together as husband and wife.
