Today the wedding reception Rama and Diska will be held at the home of Uci Desmi.

Rumah Uci Desmi has been crowded with invited guests, Tanjung villagers some of their people are in the kitchen to cook gulai chicken and jackfruit. They took part in preparing food that would be served to guests who would come from outside villages.

In the morning at 09:00 Rama and Diska had worn traditional Minang clothing, namely daro child clothing, customary clothing paired with edits on the bride's head.

In the morning, Diska looked very beautiful. A transvestite polishing make up on Diska's face.

In the village of Tanjung only a transvestite understands about the issue of permake-up because rarely a woman who does this.

At first Diska was reluctant to be groomed by a transvestite, but due to circumstances she was forced to let a transvestite decorate her face.

When Rama and Diska are finished with traditional clothing typical of west Sumatra yellow with simple edits on his head. Clothes for the morning is not too complicated and luxurious, they are paraded around the village with the accompaniment of the tambourine drum of Tanjung village mothers who are assigned to play the tambourine.

That is how in every village in Ranah Batahan sub-district, they will share the duties of every party in their village.

Tambana officers are mothers who are accustomed to acting as tambourine drumbeaters. Likewise with the singer, they already have a singer who used to perform songs kasidah.

Some people are not work bound in the kitchen and guests usually follow the bridal procession. Likewise with Bu Naina and Pak Bayu they also participated in the procession.

Diska enjoys the customs she is currently living. After the procession was over, the two brides sat for a while at the available table.

The guests greeted them as congratulations to both sides.

Before the dzuhur time entered, the two brides came down from the guarantee, they went into the room and then they changed clothes while resting.

When dzuhur time entered Rama and Diska Dzuhur prayer first, after that they also wear new clothes.

This time Diska is dressed in a luxurious white dress, makeup polish is repaired by the transvestites who always stand by there.

After finishing, they also returned to the procession to the house of the teacher who was in the village. Villagers usually call the activity 'Mangalap Guru' (to pick up the teacher), after the procession, the two brides and some guests will enter the house for the Qur'an khatam.

The bride and groom were told to teach, and everyone in the house also read the Qur'an al-Tadarus to the Qur'an khatam.

After the event 'peace of worship' the two brides will be brought before the elders in the village.

They will both be advised by the elders in front of the people who are there. The advice given is marriage advice, advice so that both brides are wise in dealing with household problems later.

At that time Diska shed her tears, the advice was never obtained from her parents.

This custom of advising is always done so that the two brides are not easily separated in undergoing the household ark later.

Here the elders also teach the bride and groom, the household is not a matter of happy living alone, a couple will be faced with various problems in the future, so both brides must be patient and clever in taking a stand.

In the wedding in the Tanjung area, this advising event became the core of a wedding party.

After the advising event, the two brides were again asked to change their traditional clothes, this time they wore other types of traditional Minang clothes, the clothes were almost the same as the traditional clothes this morning, but the color was bright red.

This time, Diska wearing heavy and luxurious edits, her appearance more reflects the figure of Daro girl Minangkabau.

Tanjung villagers are Mandailing Natal people in North Sumatra who live in West Sumatra, so they are often called Mandailing Batak descendants.

Because Rama is a derivative of Namora (Descendants of the previous king) so that after ashar they will hold a typical Tor-tor Batak dance.

This type of tor-tor dance is many kinds, in the village of Tanjung they use tor-tor dance only specifically for the descendants of Namora.

Tor-tor dance is not a difficult dance to do, one time taught many people who can directly.

Before the performance of tor-tor dance, the two brides are usually paraded around the village. This evening the route is farther than the morning procession.

The evening procession is carried out with the aim of introducing the bride of immigrants to the entire village community.

After that there will be pencak silat action carried out by fighter figures from the village.

At this event, all citizens will watch boisterously, no one wants to miss watching this.

After the pencak silat event, the tor-tor dance will be performed by the brother or parents of the bride.

Pak Bayu and Bu Naina also participated in the tor-tor dance, and the last event was the tor-tor dance performed by the two brides.

The customs they do are hereditary customs of their ancestors, each custom carried has its own meaning.

As a tribe of immigrants in the village of Tanjung, Diska was amazed by the row of customs that had been done all day.

He was tired, but the fatigue disappeared instantly.

Before the maghrib barrage of events was stopped, everyone took a short break.

The party has not ended, after the prayer isya, they will hold a music orchestra until midnight.

Diska enjoyed the event because she felt united with all the residents in Tanjung village.

As with Pak Bayu and Bu Naina, they attended the wedding ceremony solemnly.

They feel the custom lived by his daughter looks unique and has its own meaning.

"How do you like the show we've been through one day?" rama asked his wife.

"It's exhausting, but I'm happy" replied Diska.

The wedding reception in Tanjung village is much different from in Bandung.

"I deliberately held this reception so that you know how my custom is here" said Rama.

This is done so that Diska also knows the customs and traditions of her village, so that later Diska can unite with the Mandailing community there in Tanjung village.
