wedding day: Ayu & Adli Wedding (Javanese & Padangnese Tradition)

Ayu and Adli is one of our favorite couples. A little story about Ayu and Adli, both of them actually have known each other since 2008. Then, at that time Ayu had to continue her study in Milan, Italy. Then she came back to Jakarta in 2013. And in the early 2014, they declared their relationship as a couple of lovers. After going through two years of courtship, Adli finally decided to propose Ayu. Adli proposed Ayu in her birthday on November 3, 2015 by giving Ayu a surprise, namely saying his marriage proposal while having dinner with Ayu's family.

Ayu and Adli is a couple that greatly admire a wedding with traditional themes. Ayu coming from Java and Adli coming from Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatra, and at the end, they and the family agreed to bring the concept of marriage with a blend of Javanese and Minang cultures.

Because the concept of this marriage is a blend between two cultures, Ayu and Adli are equally getting new things. It is a unique things for Adli and family when they perform siraman ceremony that comes from Javanese tradition. "This is a first time for us to do one of Javanese traditional ceremonies. We see it as a thing that is full of symbol and very exciting to do "Said Adli at that time.

There is a thing that attracts our attention during the reception of Ayu and Adli. At the beginning of Kirab procession, Ayu and Adli walked toward the decorated wedding seat with the procession of Javanese custom. When in the middle of way, they give a surprise with a welcoming dance from Minang tradition, which directs both the bride and groom toward the decorated wedding seat. The transition process of Javanese tradition and Minang tradition is a unique idea of Adli's Father. All the people coming are very happy watching the procession filled with Indonesia's culture.

Ayu and Adli truly make everything outstanding. The marriage filled with the richness of two cultures until Ayu's favorite colors really make everything look beautiful from all sides. This is the reason why we greatly admire this couple. Hopefully Ayu and Adli can inspire other couples in realizing their dream wedding.
