I agree too on the pertunangan, if you are really ready, why not just get married kan.

But I guess the family requests/decisions comes into play, ritual and such, and I reckon the kepang-gebung2 is inevitable.

The question you should be asking is are you getting married or your family/relatives.

Weddings for me should be simple & small, mine would be that.

hahha… i think the 1st part of the story is so TRUE for all singles out there.. and it can be quite frustrating, irritating and at the same time sad… haha… especially when pple keep asking u, eh where’s yr partner???? or when r u going to get married??? and bla bla bla.. haha..

and as for the rituals, i think basically u have listed out the process…. hahah… well.. i think nwadays some couples tend to skip the pertunangan part and goes straight to the akad nikah part (of course with mths of careful preparation!!) and thus the discussion on the options on wedding ceremony date etc will sometimes be done during the merisik visit…

i dun knw.. bt i feel tt the pertunangan part is quite a waste of money… some of my frens had complained to me tt they had to spent money for their pertunangan and also their wedding part… well.. i think i wld just rather spent on my wedding then having both… :P…well..tts juz an opinion.. :P
