Balinese Wedding of Dewa Marco 14.11.2006

Balinese Wedding ceremony is an unique wedding procession and unforgettable momentum for the human being where the procession is followed by hindu rituals, custom regullation & the perfect day based on Balinese calendar .


it must be done the ‘proper way’ which means in front of the whole village. If a man is living in his own place it will be at his house, if not at the home of his parents, the new wife moving in immediately.A marriage couple will use the beautiful uniforms which are all adapted from local during the procession.


Three days later another ceremony called a ‘ketipat bantal‘ is performed with both sides attending. Every body eats and is happy again. The funny thing about all this is everyone wants the same thing, for the couple to marry and have kids and everyone knows how things will plays out. They go this long route, everyone playing a part so that no one’s honor will be lost. One might ask why they don’t just say “Okay, we want to get married but don’t have the cash, instead of all the pretending lets have a feast here and save the time, maybe afterwards go catch a flick?” Of course that’s not the Balinese way.
