Six Rituals of the Wedding Ceremony
While the wedding ritual consists of six procedures that start from the wedding ritual. At this moment, the two brides will be faced with a penghulu, parents, guardians, and invited guests to take the oath and wedding vows.
The second ritual is the grill ceremony, the two brides can be considered to have been officially married. In addition, the grill ceremony consists of several rituals, among which are (Gantal road); both couples will throw each other a pendant with betel tied with white thread. The groom throws a gantal, hitting the bride's chest as a symbol that he has conquered the couple's heart. Then the bride throws a gantal, hitting the groom's knee as a symbol that he will be devoted to the husband. In addition, both brides will wear white as a symbol of purity.
(Eggjacking); is a procession where the groom steps on a raw egg, then the bride cleans the groom's feet in a kneeling position. This defines the politeness of a wife to her husband. After that, the groom helps the bride stand up, which has a meaning of appreciation towards the wife.
(Installation); wearing a fabric of insinuation to the two brides who will walk to the pelaminan while holding hands. The fabric used is usually white and there is a red lace in it. These two colors symbolize courage and passion in the household ark.
(Weigh weight); when arriving at the seat of the bride, the two brides will be directed to sit on the lap of the father of the bride. Then the mother went up on stage to ask who was heavier between the two couples. Then, the father will answer that both are the same. This dialogue indicates that there is no difference in affection for the two brides.
(Drink water); Water is symbolized as holy water and water of life. Drinking water comes from one glass, for the whole family. The father of the bride will be the first to drink the water, then passed to the mother until the bride drinks both.
(Boyfriend); where the groom drops a lot of dime and a lot of grain to the bride, this is as a sign that the groom will be responsible for his family's living, and the groom will be in charge of his family, it is also the responsibility of the bride to manage it.
(Returning); the two brides fed each other three times. This procession is expected so that both partners can always get along well with each other, understanding, and help in living the household ark.
Next is the third ritual, which is the crater bubak. This crater break was only done at the time of the first ghost, showing the parents' gratitude for the marriage of his first child.
The fourth ritual is the Punjen complex, where the family will hold the procession, when all the children are married, so that they will not be helped again. Punjen tumplek can be interpreted as releasing the darma of parents to children.
The fifth ritual is sungkeman, where the bride and groom kneel before the parents of both parties, this is done as a form of respect for the services of parents who have raised them until marriage.
While the last ritual is the bridal kirab, where the groom and woman leave the stage to change clothes.
Because most of the population of Java Dwipa does not have parents, relatives and friends. Thus, the entire wedding ceremony is designed relatively simple and does not strictly follow the nine pilgrimage processes and six wedding ceremony rituals.
Fortunately, the Bureau of Material Reserves had ordered Heru Cokro. Yesterday afternoon, they had sent the red silk cloth, rice, fruit and other items needed in the wedding reception. So that it can brighten the atmosphere.
When Heru Cokro rushed to the Temple of Anala, Paijo Caleb Hanan had been waiting for him in front of the gate.
Seeing the arrival of Heru Cokro, he rushed over to say hello and said flatly: “Your Majesty came here, it's an honor that I couldn't possibly reply to.”
This time, Heru Cokro did not come with the core Javanese officials Dwipa. Even the little girl Laxmi, clamoring for fun, but Heru Cokro disapproves. Thus, only he and Wiji came to meet this groom.
Paijo Caleb Hanan personally led Heru Cokro and came to the courtyard to sit down. Wiji who is good at reading situations, does not follow them, but rather takes the initiative to run to another place to find a seat.
Looking at Heru Cokro, the first step of Buminegoro was to quickly get up and say hello. Paijo Caleb Hanan was a worker under the jurisdiction of the Construction Division, so he invited the Director of the Construction Division to attend the wedding.
Before coming, Buminegoro did not expect that His Majesty would come to the wedding reception. So he was very surprised. Inwardly said: “ini the correct choice. Because when His Majesty sees himself caring about their subordinates, it may be possible to increase his prestige.”
The same goes for Heru Cokro, inwardly saying: “thankfully there are other friends who can be chatted with. So not too boring.”
Then, Paijo Caleb Hanan led Goddess Gendhis who was his bride to come and greet Heru Cokro. Heru Cokro uttered a few words of good luck and prayed for the bride to return soon. Because she knew that the bride in ancient times should not go out to greet the guests. He came only to show honor for the coming of his ruler.
After the opening, Heru Cokro symbolically ate something, got up and left. He also knew that if he had been there for too long, the other guests would not dare to make a fuss. Then it was better for him to leave early and leave them with joy.
The next morning, the Fishermen Division began to organize the sale of salt and fish.
A tenth of the salt and fish were transported from Gudang Garam to the pier with 20 fishing boats. Residents laid down their jobs and helped move sea salt from the docks to the market square.
After more than a month, Gudang Garam had produced 240,000 units of salt. This amount of salt is so large that it takes a long time to move it. Moreover, there are still fish produced from the burning of fish that have the amount of half of the total salt.
Finally, when 5 pm, all salt and fish have been completed delivered to the market.
The price of salt per unit is 20 copper coins, if multiplied by 240,000 units of salt, then it produces 480 gold coins. Then deducted 20% on the transaction tax, his net income was 384 gold coins.
While the price of fish per unit is 40 copper coins, then if multiplied by 120,000 fish units, resulting in 480 gold coins. Then deducted 20% on the transaction tax, his net income was 384 gold coins. The total net income for the sale of fish and salt is 768 gold coins.
Coupled with the previous storage, then Heru Cokro now had 894 gold coins in his storage bag. This money, he was not willing to use too much. Because a month and a half later, the system will hold its first auction. Then the funds should be accumulated from now on.
The salt and the next fish, Heru Cokro will sell it again at the end of March.
