The Acehnese traditional wedding procession was long. Which I often encounter and many done there are seven, starting applications, fiance, peusijeuk, marriage, receptions, intint linto baro, until tueng (read: tung) dara baro. The last three, reception, interstate linto, and tueng dara baro, are similar processions, in the form of a wedding celebration, complete with a wedding, twisted bride and banquet.

Intat linto baro and tueng dara baro true same, showing the responsibility of families in establishing marital bond. This is a bridal interdisciplinary procession by the family. Linto and Dara mean the groom and the bride. Baro is new in Bahasa Indonesia. Intention means to deliver, while the word tueng is usually a phrase after joining another word, but when it stands alone as a word, its meaning is more or less is a reply or reply.

Interstitial linto is a family procession of the male party to bring the groom to the bride's house. Beginning with the arrival of the bridegroom with the family, followed by the welcome of the female family, usually a traditional dance and chanting shalawat (prayers for Rasulullah Muhammad SAW) at the gate of the residence, then the bride juxtaposed in the aisle. Afterwards, the bride and groom's family enjoys a banquet in front of the aisle, while guests are entertained separately, usually outside the home or courtyard.

Tueng dara baroe essentially the same, this visit the family of the bride's family with the bride to the groom's residence. If possible to find its equivalent in my traditional custom, Java, tueng daro baro similar ngunduh mantu. The host of a baroque tuna is a bridegroom family. The outline is the same as the linto interstition, just different places, if events are held at home.

What is interesting in this inter-bridal delivery chain, although essentially the same as most Indonesian cultures where family engagement is always featured, Acehnese brides are as yet unlawful together before the three habits are performed. Despite the veiled consent and holding a wedding reception, usually the couple is still separated. Not allowed to be together, only the old and the frequency is still limited.

If the groom's house and the bride far apart, different cities for example, not infrequently after the reception, the bridegroom come home with a family group. Nearby dwellings though, usually, the lovebirds have not been runted or anywhere. Most days, half a day, or overnight only the groom visits the woman's house, to return to her own family's residence. Even after linto intat. The new couple will stay together after the linto intat show and more often after the baroque tueng dewa.

The primacy of the family in the tradition of Aceh marriage has actually been shown starting custom application. In Aceh-style applications, the prospective groom is usually not involved. Application of Aceh in the form of visits or hospitality of the bride-grown parents to the residence of the female family to woo. If the proposal is accepted, then the ties of two families will be followed by the custom application where two new big families meet. In this application, usually, two new families discuss all marriage purposes, one of which determines the day of marriage. Another important point, discussed during the application in the Aceh tradition, is the agreement of the dowry or the dowry.

Next adat peusijuek, from the origin of the word sijeuk, the meaning of freedom is cool in Indonesian, meaning the process of cooling or cooling. Peusijeuk is a custom of granting permission or blessing, not only in the tradition of marriage, but in many stages of Acehnese life. After buying a house, after occupying a position, when going to perform the pilgrimage, for example, most people in Aceh do the peusijeuk tradition.

In essence prayers are offered for good or a kind of gratitude or pleading to God. Uniquely Aceh peusijeuk done by sprinkling holy water, water into which has been blown prayers, to the object prayed, similar to the final process of praying Hindus. Some opinions reveal this evidence of acculturation of Hindu and Islamic culture brought by immigrants and then spread into custom procession.

Peusijeuk Aceh wedding is not always before the wedding, sometimes done during the reception, when the bride bersanding in pelaminan, after marriage. The elderly, from family and invitation, will give their blessing to both brides and brides who have been side by side. Again this is about communal, how many people, or society, or big families engage in welcoming bonds.

Marriage or Aceh wedding bride is almost always done in the mosque considering the majority of Muslims. The marriage or marriage of Acehnese marriage is no different from this process, which is passed by or done by other Indonesian Muslim community. Marriage or marriage in Aceh's bridal mosque is continued by reception or banquet, which is usually held at the bride's house.

It always appeals to me to observe the diverse customs of Indonesia because it means we are rich. Aceh alone said it is a blend of Arabic, Chinese, European, and Indian or Indian colors. The four great cultural combinations that clearly make the culture of Aceh itself, in my opinion.

Whether or not the theory is true, but the proof of the Acehnese bride will put a distinctive patterned painting on their hands and feet using henna ink, like Indian women or Arab women at their wedding ceremonies. Interestingly, Aceh-style marriage is more colorful, because when the reception is usually couples appear in two clothing alternately. First dressed in Aceh customs, and by noon, changing European clothes where the man is wearing a full suit and the bride in white dress with a bouquet of flowers in hand. It's rich Aceh, Indonesia's rich, culturally diverse. (tempo.co) We keep ya ..
