Good morning everyone, greetings of course to all of us, may we always be given health and success.
On this occasion I will share some photos of my wife and I when holding our reception, on Saturday 23 July 2022, the tradition in our area is that the event is held in two places, the bride's house and the groom's house, and this photo was taken during the event at the bride's house, or we usually call it in our local language (Preh Linto Baro)
A few days before the event was held, we first chose our traditional clothes, namely Aceh, it can be said that almost everyone who held the reception here wore Acehnese traditional clothes because it is a pride for us, there are several kinds of colors and models of these clothes, we choose the usual color, which is black and choose the latest model of pait.
For men's clothing, it is mandatory to use a cap and rencong because it symbolizes the king in the past who once existed in aceh
For women's clothes, it's the same, using clothes that are patterned like a queen, and using a very heavy crown on the head, because all the equipment is made of copper which is estimated to reach 3-5kg.
not only clothes, for women also use henna on the hands and feet and also use the best make-up to look beautiful on her happy day
I am proud and happy to be able to introduce our traditional clothes to all of my friends so that everyone can know about it, what do you all think about our traditional clothes? is there anything similar in your area?
All photos were taken by photographers that I hired specifically to capture this sacred moment, my wife and I are the models.
