In Indonesia, they have may different cultures "(an estimated number of 300 cultures and languages, among 200 million
Indonesians, living on 13,677 different islands)." I believe that this enormous amounts of different cultures has a great
impact on marriage ceremonies. "Every wedding in Indonesia has a different ceremony, each of them influenced by the cultures
of the families involved. Every ceremony is a step in the creation of a new bound between two families." Putting on a grand,
traditional, or modern wedding in Indonesia is a matter of pride, not only for the married couple, but also for the parents,
"to show that their children are marrying well and that they have not forgotten their roots." Many people say "Count yourself
fortunate if you've had the opportunity to attend an Indonesian wedding. The fascination wedding ceremonies and festivities
give a unique opportunity to sight the Indonesian culture and social mores." "Arranging a traditional wedding ceremony id
the dream of many, the upholding of custom and an auspicious blessing for the couple's future."
