Before nine in the morning, the two brides were back on the podium.
In front of the bride's chair there is already a small chair for the symbolic event "siraman" which will be guided by the host from the WO side.
Both brides have been sitting in a small chair that is a little far in front of a wide and large seat like a throne.
The flush event also took place solemnly, flush literally means bathing with water this will be done by seven nearby families who water the water to the two brides, he said, then ended by the bride's father.
A ritual that symbolizes self-cleaning before performing other rituals.
When the two brides changed clothes, both parents performed a ritual called "adol dawet", where the parents of the bride and groom sell dawet as a dish to invited guests who have been present to witness the procession that has been running.
But the purchase of this dawet does not use money but uses crew (pottery shards) as a sign that all the staples of this life come from the land/earth.
Here the mother will be the seller and the father will protect the mother this exemplifies to her children in the future that they must work together in fostering the household.
Then continue with the ritual "cut tumpeng" which symbolizes prosperity.
The next event is "Dinatan", which is giving the last bribe of both parents to the bride and groom as a sign that the responsibility of the parents has ended because the child is married.
After all the events were finished then led by the WO host, carrying out the next event, the "Sophisticated"/celebrity ceremony"/the meeting here the bride will be found as a husband and wife who have been officially legal as a husband and wife.
In this manten meeting procession there is a ritual called "Gantal Road"( betel that is tied with thread), the two brides will throw each other.
Bimo is directed to throw Meytta towards the chest as a symbol that has taken his heart, while Meytta is directed to throw the gantal towards Bimo's knee as a sign of devotion to the husband.
The event was filled with tension for the two brides, but for the guests the procession invitation even became a joke that made the guests feel entertained by the procession that had been running.
The two canteens then returned to the guide for the next event, "Ngidak Endog", in this ritual, Bimo asked to step on a raw egg as a symbol of immediate descent and then Meytta directed to wash Bimo's feet as a symbol of affection.
Next in a row also is a procession of "hostage" where the two brides will be wrapped in a red and white cloth on the necklace and then pulled the bride's father between to the seat of the guarantee, as a symbol leads to a new life as a married couple.
Next is "Weight weight" where both brides as if on the weigh then asked which weight by the mother, and answered equally heavy.... this symbolizes that the two brides are not differentiated between the child and daughter-in-law equally weighty and valuable.
Then the procession drinking "rujak degan" where all the family drink it, here means drinking holy water to cleanse from all the impurities of the soul and body.
The next ritual is "Kacar kucur'', where Bimo is ordered to disburse coins and basic necessities such as rice and seeds that have been placed in a cloth to Meytta the wife, who is also a woman, which symbolizes the responsibility of a husband in fulfilling a living to the family.
Then the next procession event is the Deuteronomy between husband and wife who illustrates that in one family must always help each other, and help each other with affection until old age.
And from the whole procession it ends with a sungkeman event where the two brides kneel in front of both parents as a form of respect for having raised, the, caring and loving until finally able to live a new life with his partner.
The latter event was very emotionally draining, making Bimo and Meytta cry in front of both parents as well as their parents who could not resist and cried hugging each other.
After the whole procession is completed, proceed with the congratulation from the invited guests to both the bride and her parents while enjoying the food in a buffet according to taste in the place that has been provided.
The event lasted until approaching the dhuhur adhan and finally finished.

All have returned to the hotel where they stayed, although tired but clearly reflected the satisfaction on their faces because of the success of the event.
Both brides have moved in a special room that is provided for the bride.
Meytta looked exhausted while sitting on the sofa in the room.
Bimo sitting next to Meytta immediately embraced his wife, lifting her up and on her bench.
"Aauww..!!."
Meytta was shocked to immediately blush her cheeks, because she was sitting on Bimo's lap.
"Mas...still noon ..then if anyone wants to find us how....?," said Meytta slowly a little anxious, as soon as Bimo began to act more.
"Mas Bimo just wants to hug you. right now it is legal to be the wife of mas Bimo.so can do anything...," bimo said softly while hugging and kissing the neck of Meytta who is now his rightful wife.
The two hugged for quite a while.
Before the two then take a clean shower to change with ordinary clothes because they have not prayed dhuhur.
Tok.tok...
A knock on the door was heard when the two had finished praying.
Meytta walked over to open it.
"Eeh.bude Rahmi..," said Meytta as soon as he opened the door.
"Mas..Bimo. nduk Meytta. eat first."
"Do you want to take it to the room.?" said Bude Rahmi offering.
"No need to bude, we eat with other families only," said Bimo who had appeared behind Meytta.
"Ooh.yeah already ..bude not the dining room first then," said Bude Rahmi with a smile and passed from there.
A moment later Bimo came to the dining room hand in hand.

"Waah.the bride has already come ..goda some of the families who are already there," to Bimo and Meytta.

At the special table there were already several servants serving the meal.
"Here...sit here dear," mama Halimah told meytta.
Then Bimo sat down beside Meytta.
They talked for a while while waiting for the food arranged at the table that can be turned is ready to be enjoyed.
"Papa has a gift for you" said papa Haryo.
"What is a reward??" asked Bimo
