The traditional marriage process of the Strait of Nasik colors the highlight of the 2015 Maras Taun celebration in the Strait of Nasik, last Sunday. The procession of traditional marriages reminds thousands of people who witnessed the event of the traditions of the ancestors of the Nasik Strait.
This activity begins with the groom's procession. The man who acts as a bride is carried by four people accompanied by tambourine wasps. The groom is paraded towards the bride's residence. After arriving at the bride's residence, the procession is continued with the delivery of luggage.
Various items were brought during the procession. One piece of equipment that he brought was betel. The bride and groom are juxtaposed in the aisle in front of the invited guests and attendees. The procession of traditional marriages does not only end here, but there are still several stages that have their own philosophies.
The procession continued with the mandimbor mandik. Besimbor mandik which means showering flush each other means to purify the bride and groom. This procession is done by pouring water seven times to the bride and groom. It is hoped that they will be clean and inward when starting to wade through the household ark.
The bride and groom must also cross the thread range seven times. These square-stretched threads must be skipped together. This process means that every household will face obstacles. To overcome these obstacles, the bride and groom must go through the process of bekace and candles.
Candlelight indicates that in household life is always bright. While bekace or look in the mirror so that the bride and groom can always be introspective in dealing with obstacles. Namely with always self-introspection.
The activity aims to preserve the culture of ancestors in the form of gratitude to the Creator. Akhirin, who is the chair of the event committee, said that the activity was to show the potential to support Belitung tourism. So that it can be better known by tourists.
"This activity is a moment to promote our area so that one day it can become a tourism destination in Belitung Regency," said Akhirin. (*)
