BETWEEN QATAR AND JOGJA
MARRIAGE OF TWO CULTURES
FROM SEDAYU ~JOGJAKARTA, YANKTIE CONGRATULATES READING THIS SIMPLE STORY
\~\~\~\~\~
“Iya Kak, thank you for coming to see me,” Aurel replied.
Almost two hours Aurel just finished dressing. And all who see it will pangling the appearance of the Javanese girl in the Indian bridal dress. Ms. Tarida has not been able to walk far, so she is waiting for her daughter near the ijab table. Who will accompany Aurel from the room is Amishaa's sister and her budenya Aurel.
This marriage is a marriage of two cultures. Although using traditional Indian clothing, still for the traditional ritual using Jogja rituals.
At 08:30 the ritual will begin. Each family is ready for their position
“Honored ladies and gentlemen. With the words Bismillah kitaa began the wedding ceremony between Aurelia Putri Wicaksono and Rajev Aasikansha Kumar!” MC starts to open up. Two MCs are tasked with driving with language. Java, Indonesia, Malayalam and English.
“The initial event is PANGGIH or meeting. Sophisticated is a procession that brings the bride and groom together. Sometimes this event is only done at the reception. But the Wicaksono family did before the event kabul ijab or if in Indian called NIKAAH.” Thus the MC explains what the ritual will now be done.
The series of grill processions is preceded by a wacky dance by male and female dancers with witty makeup.
“The audience, the intention of this tradition has the meaning that the bride and groom are considered to need a balance that is realized by the appearance of the courtier with tattered grooming. This dance is also intended as a repellent of evil spirits that will interfere with the course of the ceremony, MC continues to narrate for the audience to understand what this dance means. Not just the origin of the dance.
“Next, we'll start with the next ritual. For the family of the bridegroom, namely the extended family of Mr. Chander Kumar to prepare to deliver mas Rajev Aasikanksha Kumar to submit SangGAN,” MC calls the Kumar family to enter the event location.
Bude Retno represents her younger sibling, the late Bunda Aurel. Bude Retno accompanied her sister-in-law Wicaksono to receive a bun, because Tarida ma'am did say she could not take part in this ceremony. Aurel initially asked Tarida's mother to pay her respects.
“We have been through the event of the handover of a bun from the Kumar family to the Wicaksono family. A copulation is a symbol or means of redeeming the bride. The form is two comb banana mature king tree, betel nut, telon flower (rose, jasmine, memories ), as well as the sawe yarn laid out in one container.”
“So we see the bearer of the bun standing in front of the groom's entourage to then hand the bun to the bride's mother - this time represented by bude Retno, the older sister of the late mother of the bride.” thus MC gave an explanation.
“Let's continue with the following event that the two brides will do BALANGAN GANTAL. Reply that means throwing each other, beware not the origin of throwing yes,” the MC seeks to relieve tension with a little joking.
“GANTAL in Javanese means betel nut that is rolled together next to a betel nut, and tied with a lawe yarn. Gantal twisting is made as many as six pieces in the Javanese custom of Yogyakarta, each bride has the right to throw a gantal three times.”
[Different from the Javanese custom of Solo which gives four gantal twists to the groom, while the bride holds three gantal twists. Differences in balangan gantal procession in the custom of Yogyakarta and Solo are only found in the number of gantal twisting only, but the essence contained has many similarities.]
“Throwing this betel roll is not the origin of the throw. A gallows are thrown towards the same area of the body namely the forehead, chest, and knees.”
“The area of the body has a special meaning, the gantal throw from the bride directed to the groom's knee is called the gantal “gondhang kasih” in the form of hope that the husband will be able to protect, in the future, at the same time the realization of his baktin to the husband.”
“On the other hand, the gantal balangan thrown by the groom on the chest of the bride is also known as the gantal “gondang cudar” which symbolizes that the groom has taken the love of his partner. On the same target by the bride to the groom's chest also has a meaning as hope that the bridegroom's affection continues to grow in her heart.”
Aurel and Rajev the main stars of this procession begin to stand in their respective positions. The Kumar family, who were happy with the customary ritual, paid attention to what Rajev was doing. Rajev is accompanied by Amishaa and Vijay while performing balloons.
Aurel is accompanied by Mirna and Bagas. Indeed, they are deliberately not accompanied by parents, because parents are preparing at the location of kabul ijab.
The procession begins with Rajev and Aurel walking in opposite directions accompanied by two relatives flanking the bride and groom. Then at a distance of about two meters or less they stopped, then the event of throwing betel or balangan gantal was started with Rajev got the first turn to throw a gantal which was then reciprocated by Aurel until the gantal owned by both was exhausted.
“In Javanese tradition, balangan gantal or throw-throwing whirling betelan mirrored of a pair of brides throwing love. Gantal itself is meaningful as a symbol of a marriage meeting between the groom and the woman who has found a part of the heart, and is bound by a sacred thread of love, so the merciless ones do not have to throw each other yes, yes,” MC closes the ritual balangan gantal with sweet.
All processions are described the meaning of the symbol so that the audience can understand what the ritual means.
“After the balangan gantal is completed then the next ceremony is WIJERAN or RANUPADA. Different rituals of Jogja wijikan with Solo. Although now many ordinary people who just do this procession. Of course this time Mbak Aurel run the version of Jogja in accordance with the origin of his parents,” the MC explained Aurel will start doing a permit show.
“In Javanese language, ‘ranu’ means water and ‘pada’ means foot, then if interpreted in full, ranupada ritual means washing feet.”
In this context, the foot in question belongs to the bridegroom which is washed by the bride. The ritual reflects the consecration of the wife to the husband. In addition, the permit also aims to eliminate obstacles in order to create a happy family and be kept away from distress and distress.
Rajev looked at Aurel who was walking towards him without blinking. Her bride was perfect in her eyes.
The massage begins when Rajev's two feet as the groom enter a rectangular box that has been given slices of pandan leaves mixed with jasmine flowers
Aurel then washed Rajev's feet with water. At least three times Aurel washed the water of the flowers on both feet of Rajev. Continue by wiping Rajev's feet dry.
After it was over, Aurel as the bride delivered worship as her service. Rajev, who had returned to wearing a slop (footwear ), then helped Aurel stand by holding his upper arms. This is a symbol of protection of a husband to his wife.
