The awaited event arrived. All the families from both the groom and the bride were very busy preparing themselves.
In accordance with their agreement Tommy and Roma Wedding Event will be held with the Javanese Customs then all preparations are done according to Javanese customs.
The first stage that is done is Serah-serahan or Bidaran and since the ceremony and application have been completed then the next event will be held which is actually in Javanese custom there is also a call and the application is only different in language just. But the rules are all pretty much the same.
The next event is a Wedding Decoration or called the Pasang Blektepe Or Tarup is done the day before the wedding, usually, the gate of the bride's house will be decorated with yellow janur as a wedding preparation consisting of various plants and leaves. But because their wedding was held at the Prayoga Hotel, the hotel ballroom was transformed by W.O into a traditional Javanese wedding concept.
They provided two banana trees with a set of ripe bananas on each tree, symbolizing the husband who would be the head of a good household.
Wulung cane or red cane, which means a family that prioritizes healthy thoughts.
Cengkir Ivory or young coconut fruit, which means married couples will love each other and take care of each other and care for each other.
Various kinds of leaves such as banyan leaves, mojo-koro leaves, reed leaves, dadap serep, as a symbol of both brides will live safely and their families are protected from danger.
Next is the Siraman event performed symbolically is the preparation of marriage and self-cleaning inner birth of the two prospective brides carried out in their respective homes. It is also a medium of prayer request blessing from the pinisulat.
Although Roma is a batak but because this is the customary tradition of her future husband then she also did it at home assisted by the family of Tommy who is indeed a Javanese who this time represented by Siska mother from her best friend Zia.
"You look beautiful on the deck, so it looks like a real Javanese person" Tommy said during a video call before the show began.
Roma wear batik cloth with jasmine flower decoration strung like a shirt to cover the upper body part.
"Bang Tommy is also handsome to look handsome." reply Roma praised his handsome partner.
"The Javanese are called Mas dek, not Bang–!" tommy exclaimed with a smile teasing Rome.
"Eee..eee, you guys are still a Video Call-an. You guys are still locked up so can't see each other first." Beautiful voice sounded scolding Tommy his son.
"Yaelah Mi, we did not meet Mi" said Tommy annoyed because his HP was seized by Indah.
"VC-an it's the same darling you're still face-to-face. The point is not to meet first. Patience napa, just a few hours away. No time can nahan anyway." scolding Beautiful then saw Rome from his son's phone. "You're beautiful, baby. But continue tomorrow only dear, tomorrow and so on Sah and can see as much." hearing the speech of his future father-in-law Roma just bowed shy.
"Yes Mami." she answered obediently.
"Hopefully the show flush there smoothly yes dear." said Indah then decided the video call.
Tommy does look annoyed but everything his mom says is also true.
The Siraman event was conducted first by the parents of the bride-to-be, followed by the seedlings, and lastly by the mother of the bride-to-be, using a jug that was then broken into the floor while saying, “Saiki wis broke pamore” (“Now broken pamornya”). Of course Berta's beginning was very difficult to pronounce but Siska taught him patiently and painstakingly.
After the flush the next event is Paes Or Ngerik this ceremony is done, which is as a symbol of the effort to beautify yourself in a born and inner way. ‘Paes’ means new Rias at the ngalub-alubi stage or introduction, to facilitate further paes when the meeting will be held. The hair is then combed and coiled or shaped konde. After Pameas dried the bride's face and neck, she began to dress her face.
The next stage after Paes is Dodol Dawet. This procession symbolizes that in the wedding ceremony that will be held, visited by guests who are abundant like the best-selling dawet cendol. In this ceremony, the mother of the bride-to-be acts as a dawet seller, accompanied and patronized by the father of the bride-to-be, while saying “Laris–. Dawet selling" is done by Berta and Togar in the yard and welcomed by their invited guests who are the majority of Mandailing batak people.
Some of them feel this procession is very unique. Moreover, this is Berta's first experience because when his son married a Sundanese girl his tradition is different again even though there are similar.
Next is the Midodareni ceremony which means to make the bride as beautiful as the goddess Widodari. The bride will stay in her room from six in the afternoon until midnight and be accompanied by her female relatives. Since Rome was the only daughter, the ones who accompanied her were her cousins, as well as Zia and Rara.
"Where does Rome feel to be a bride?" ask Zia who has already lived it. But when Zia married Tommy, her marriage was done in the same modern marriage when she married Chandra again her marriage also does not use Javanese customs, so being able to watch the process of Javanese custom makes him very enthusiastic when he gets the opportunity to accompany his best friend.
But Rara is the same as Roma, when she married Zio Zia's twin they used Javanese traditional wedding ceremonies.
"Deg degan Zi, I'm afraid of Zia, Ra." Roma's hand felt very cold when holding his best friend's hand.
"Hey, your hands are cold Rom. Like tomorrow who say ijab kabul lo aja." mocked Roma. "What the hell are you afraid of? Lo that's a relax. Think about what's okay. We wish the show well tomorrow."
"Amin–." answered by Roma and Zia.
"Because this is already malem, you should take a break so that tomorrow looks like a seger. Isn't it funny if you have panda eyes?" goda Zia was then replied by a nod by Rome.
"Thanks yes, if there are none of you I don't know what to do. I swear the process is a lot."
"Kan balanced Rom, fitting yesterday's application using Batak and Nikah custom using Javanese Customs to be fair and unequal" said Rara.
"Yes, I wanted it to be simple. Pake the concept of modern marriage but you insist on wearing traditional Batak, maybe because I'm the only girl yes."
"Maybe–." replied Rara and Zia simultaneously.
"Yes, you have rest. Let's go out first." Zia invites Rara, her sister-in-law, out of Rome's room.
Zia and Rara came out of the room of Rome and approached the Siska Mother who was busy chatting with the Roma family.
"Roma's sleeping, baby?" siska asked as she saw the son and daughter-in-law coming out of the room of Rome.
"We told Bun to rest." said Zia.
"Then we also excuse Mr. Togar, Ms. Berta tomorrow her day must be more tired. So you should also take a break" said Siska.
"Sama-sama Ma'am." said Siska while greeting the Roma family to leave.
Togar and Berta drove Siska and the others to his yard.
...💗💗💗...
Take the time that the two families are waiting for. Where the culmination of all the stages of the process they have undergone.
The wedding, is the peak ceremony performed by the two bride and groom.
All guests are present at the Prayoga Hotel. Tommy was already in one of the suite rooms as well as Rome. All of his family were at the hotel after the morning prayers.
Tommy had first descended into the hotel ballroom that has been conjured up like the traditional Javanese wedding concept. Not cheap but very glamorous.
Roma accompanied by Zia and one of MUA's assistants delivered Roma sitting beside Tommy. Both faces were very happy.
"Finally soon he will be my husband, my Imam."
"I never thought I'd marry this girl. The woman I used to hate now I love her so much. The woman who will soon be my mistress."
Such was the meaning of the gazes of the two who looked at each other and threw their sweetest smiles.
"How can we start?" ask Pengghulu sir.
"Already sir." said Togar. There was a nervousness in her heart as this was her first and last experience marrying off her daughter.
"Who's Tommy's son?" ask Pengghulu sir.
"Ready sir." replied Tommy steadily.
Beautiful views did not escape from his son and his future son-in-law. His eyes began to glaze over. He felt a sense of happiness that he could not express.
Zia knew that her former mother-in-law was very happy. The grip of his hand can not be separated from the hands of Beautiful.
Togar reached out his hand and was greeted by Tommy.
"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim." Togar took his breath. "I marry you ananda Tommy Sain Prayoga bin Prayoga Herlambang with Romauly Badia Nasution bint Togar Nasution with dowry a set of prayer tools and gold jewelry 27 grams paid in cash." said Togar and tightened his grip.
"I accept the marriage of Romauly Badia Nasution bint Togar Nasution with a dowry a set of prayer tools and gold jewelry 27 grams paid in cash." with one breath Tommy mentioned it.
"How's witness?" ask the questioner to the witnesses of the bride and the witnesses of the groom
"SAH–." replied the witness and invitation who also witnessed the sacred event ijab kabul Tommy and Roma fisheries.
"Alhamdulillah–."
Tommy also pair their wedding ring in the sweet Rome and vice versa. Then Rome kissed the hand of the man who is now legally her husband was greeted with Tommy kissing Rome's forehead.
"A happy audience." The voice of the host again filled the room.
"With the completion of the reading of the ijab qobul by the bridegroom in front of the pengulu father. Witnessed by both parents. Attended by relatives of close and distant relatives. So from this moment, the bride has officially become a couple in accordance with the guidance of the Prophet's teaching. And at this time we will see the two bridal couples gathered to their parents to ask for the blessing and sincere prayers of Mother and Father so that his life in this world always gets guidance and this is from Allah Subhanahu Wataala. Amen.amain yes rabbal alamain."
Cries should fill the room again when the two brides asked their parents for their blessing. Togar and Berta reluctantly deliver their beloved daughter to her beloved chosen man who will now shift responsibility for her daughter's life.
After the series of events was over Tommy and Roma chose to rest in the room. Because their second party will be held at 4 pm later by using Batak Mandailing's traditional clothes. Then continue with the last party at 8 pm until it is finished with modern bridal clothes.
"Already dong darling, this is a happy day we do not cry on. We can still meet Mama's father again." Tommy hugged and calmed the woman who was now officially his wife. Since earlier after the sungkeman event to his parents Roma continued to cry.
"Yes Bang, but the tears won't stop."
"After SAH how do you cry gini anyway deck?" Tommy's sticking a nose in Rome. "Here's my brother helping me to open your clothes."
"What do you want to do?" roma asked and took a step away from Tommy while crossing his arms around him.
"Help you change clothes, isn't he sultry? The show is still long." Tommy approaches Rome but Roma instead runs into the bathroom.
"I can do it myself." she shouted from behind the bathroom door.
Tommy smiled at his wife. He knew that Roma must be ashamed of Tommy.
"Udah is also legal dek–, why should be ashamed."
Finally Finished Also Tommy's heart-pounding Process
