Wedding is a sacral moment that
make 2 families be 1 big family. Around the world must know what the meaning of
wedding with different perception. In Muara Fajar, that majority with Muslim
and Malay, have a tradition to invite the people who live near with the family
that will celebrate a wedding party. They will get 2 invitations, first is
unformal invitation. The unformal
invitation is mean the family who celebrate the wedding party, bring candies,
cigarettes, sirih leaf, and whiting (kapur sirih) that put on the plate and wrapped
by fabric. This tradition is really meaningful, because it means the family
that you invited with this way is not only as your neighbors but also as the
part of your family.
In day 1 before wedding party, the
neighbors who get the invited with unformal invitation will come to the house
that the party will celebrate in there. They
will help that family with cooking together, and prepare for all the wedding
party. When you see this situation, it was not talk about helping with each
other, but also talk about caring with each other. In this moment too, they eat
together, laugh together, talk about many things and do anything that make
their look like a family. May be it is tradition that only you can find in
village area like Muara Fajar. Well, totally I like this situation. When you
still talk or share food with your neighborhood and care with each other that
you know around your hometown.
Keep modern-era but do not lose your
tradition identity.
