THE STORY OF WEDDING SIDAN & UYA To be married with someone you love in a very special way should be a special event and held in a very exotic place. Which is why many westerners have been choosing Bali as their place to get married. It has romance, mysticism and a unique culture. Balinese Wedding Ceremony is a unique wedding procession based on Balinese Hindu rituals. This is Important Things for Sidan & Uya...... bali wedding ritualBalinese Hindu Wedding Ceremony is unforgettable momentum for the human being where the procession is followed by Hindu rituals, custom regulation and the perfect day based on Balinese Hindu Calendar. Sidan & Uya use the beautiful uniforms which are all adapted from the local during the procession. For They, especially for Balinese Hindu, their wedding is one of the most important things in their life as the wedding ceremony is a sign or an announcement that he or she is to begin a new level of life by leaving the Brahmacari stage. The first possession before the wedding is to meet the parents. Both sides of the main family members will meet to know each other and to make arrangements for the future plan. When the decision has been made, then the big families will meet, this profession is similar with engagement, however it does not involve any engagement ring. Then, it is time to choose the good day for the wedding. Choosing the good day is unlike choosing any days or dates you want. They have to go to a certain person who is from the highest caste of Brahmana who knows about Balinese astronomy. Once the date is chosen, they start to prepare the pre-wedding ceremonies. The pre-wedding ceremonies started with family members from the groom side come to the bride house to ask permission to “take” their daughter to move to the groom house, and for the bride to leave her family temple. This ceremony called Ngidih, in English translation means “ask”. Then, on a different day another ceremony is held at the groom house to “welcome” the bride as the future new family member. Then, the bride is officially moved to the groom house and she is also officially moved to the new family temple. Those ceremonies are normally taken place at their home town where their family temple is located. Then, they are ready for the big day. The wedding ceremony is normally held at the groom’s house in the home town, not in a ball room or special building. The wedding ceremony is normally attended by the family member, relatives and neighbors. To capture their wedding day was a real treat for me. Seeing the pictures, I can feel their love and happiness. I imagined Sidan & Uya smiling, going through the picture and reliving their wedding day, the day when they became one. Cheers, Teja ______
