And as my first post in this beloved community, I will try to share with you about the marriage customs in Aceh.

My dear friends...

Each country and region has its own distinct and unique customs and culture to learn, as well as those of us who live in Indonesia, precisely in the province of Aceh, we have a series of traditional ceremonies when getting married.

When someone is going to get married, then it has become a custom and tradition, we Acehnese people have to go through a series of customs and stages, including......

• Stages of Applying (Ba Ranup).

In this stage, for a boy who is an adult, who already has a dream girl, the first step is the male family will send someone who is an expert in speaking and rhyming where we call him "Seulangke" to take care of it. This matchmaking, with the aim of going back to this time, will ask the family of a girl whether the girl is still single or has a husband, and if she is still single, is she willing to be the wife of the man.

If the girl being proposed is willing, then the male family will propose to the girl on the agreed day by bringing a series of decorated betel nut, and we Acehnese call it "Ba Ranup".

• Stages of Engagement ( Ba Jeulame )

If the application has been made and the application is accepted, it will then enter the second stage, namely the engagement stage, where the male family will return to the girl's house to confirm with the female family when the wedding will take place and how much the dowry must be given by the female party. man, this dowry by us Acehnese calls it "Jeulame".

• Stages of Ijab Kabul or marriage.

This is the most sacred and holiest stage, where a ritual or consent will be held by the father of the girl with a man who is getting married, where the father of a girl gives up his daughter in front of the male family with certain words called with Ijab, and the men will accept it and is called Qabul.

This event is usually held at the office of religious affairs or a sacred place in the form of a mosque or even at the house of the woman's family.

• Stages of "Tueng linto baro" and "Tueng dara baroe".

After the marriage contract is carried out, then two families, namely the male family and the female family, will hold the "Tueng Linto Baro' and "Tueng Dara Baro" events.

Tueng linto baroe is done at the house of the men, while tueng dara baroe will be done at the house of the women.

And the picture that I show you all in this post is a picture when my younger brother did the Intat linto event at his wife's house, and at his wife's house the "Tueng linto baroe" event was held.

The event at the place of my brother's wife was held very lively, many people had been invited to attend and enjoy the food that had been provided.

The place is also very beautifully decorated with a variety of beautiful decorations.

This event lasts from morning to night, and after this event, all series of Marriage Customs are finished.
