I have a mix blood...my mom is Manado and Javanese,
while my dad comes from Flores, East Nusa Tenggara
You know what, my great grandmother (from my mom) is the real Portuguese
And voila...all of it becomes one into me
But mostly I receive the knowledge and being educated into Javanese culture
Now, I will show you something
One of famous city Jogyakarta in Middle Java has held
their Javanese Royal Wedding
It was the wedding party of the daughter of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X
Gusti Kanjeng Ratu (GKR) Nurastuti Wijareni (the Princess name)
and Kanjeng Pangeran Harya (KPH) Yudanegara (the Prince name)
Wow, it was full with luxury and custom ceremonial
Someday if I get married, I'm sure that my parents will insist me...
following all of the Javanese procession
Hopefully not, as I like the very modest one :-)
Here are the pictures
The royal couple
The palace, we call it here Keraton
The palace soldiers
Formal ceremony for the couple, it's blessed in Islam way
The procession
The Javanese traditional dance
The Javanese traditional dance
Took the shot with both of their parents and Indonesia's President
Beautiful right? :-)
Congratulation for the couple
May your love will stay endlessly
