Hello everyone, this week my friend will feel the day her happiness because she will get married with lover sweetheart, it's time to build hibungan serious for sustainable living with the person he loves. Before the wedding there is the habit of the indigenous malay, langkat, namely "kenduri and tepung tawar". The meaning of the feast in simple terms is a dinner together at home to be married and after a meal it will be in read prayers with hope to the lord to smooth wedding event day tomorrow.
"Feast" has become a habit handed down in the community melayu Langkat for any activities such as sending prayers to the people who have died and also people who want to do the wedding. Usually the invited on the eve of the feast is the citizen who is close to home to be married and invite close relatives. As his case I went from the city of medan to Tanjung Pura in Langkat Regency. Travel from medan to Tanjung Pura traveled through the land during the 90 minutes. The area of tanjung pura, and still uphold their customs as it his "kenduri" . The host must prepare a dish cuisine that is a lot to be given to invited guests who come. Feeding people who are hungry is a good thing. Because a kindness will be rewarded the good.
The habit of "feast" is already ingrained for the malay community located in Kabupaten Langkat. Because the majority of the tribe in Langkat is malay. So do not be surprised if in the future now the tradition of this kind has not been lost in the era of globalization and the modern era. I appreciate the culture that is there is because it contains the value of the good is high. By providing food to people Bnayak and pray together for the smooth running of the event the wedding will be held tomorrow it is indeed to be our essence to the creator of the universe. For that is the culture like this we always have to take care to children and grandchildren later. And never goes out to the spirit of doing good.
Furthermore, after ready to pray and eat together.then proceed with the event "tepung tawar". This is a series of events sow the flower to the person who will be married. His usual will be in the sow by parents and those nearest like the uncle and aunt who came on the show. This is a habit to as pemgingat that people who were given the "tepung tawar" so thinking about the nature like flowers and fragrant for the people around her. And make her as good as possible in deeds and behavior. This is the message that is obtained from the event "tepung tawar".
Thus my short story of the cultural habits of the night "kenduri" and "tepung tawar" from the land of Langkat North Sumatra, Indonesia. Thank you for your attention and sorry if there are errors. See u.
