RE: Wedding Ceremony #photo
Hi @eroche The wedding ceremony at Gayo Lues (wedding party) only takes a day, from morning until afternoon. But before the party there was a series of custom processions that had been run before such as proposing / sending a messenger to request (apply).
For some other districts still in Aceh province marriage party spends up to 7 days, starting from noon to night 7 days without stopping. And that is usually done by economically capable families (middle to upper).
That sounds like a great way to celebrate. Is there a particular time of the year when it's wedding season. I imagine if the celebrations last a week people must take a lot of time off work.
Generally weddings may be throughout the year except in the month of Ramadan (the month of fasting). Special Muslim weddings most in the month before Ramadan, after Eid or before and after Eid Al-Adha. The months of Marriage and the party refer to the Hijri calendar.
