Chapter 114

• In Indonesia, the wedding ceremony is indeed quite extensive, especially when it comes to the customs and cultures of specific ethnic groups. From the engagement process to the wedding day, each step has its own unique procedures.
• Among the many ethnic groups in Indonesia, the Chinese ethnic group is one that has unique customs, both in the engagement process, known in Chinese as Tingjing, and in the dowry ceremony, also known as Sangjit. These two processes are exactly what Randy did when he was about to marry Ghea.
• This morning, for example, around ten in the morning, Randy's extended family arrived at Ghea's residence. According to the initial agreement, they would conduct the Tingjing or engagement process, followed by a lunch together with both extended families.
