JAKARTA - Getting married is a sacred procession. So that nothing is missed, the bride and groom are asked to prepare as many things as possible. So, what needs to be prepared so that not only the sacred is held, but also the lasting legal relationship? Launching the Ready for Marriage page, Friday March 18, this is the answer.

Steady heart

The important thing to do before getting married is to establish your heart with the partner you have chosen. If you are a Muslim, you can do the Istikharah prayer to ask for stability in your heart. You can also share opinions with those closest to you so that the choice is not only subjective. In addition, you also need to be careful if there are obstacles to marriage, both according to religious law and applicable laws. This is important to prevent rejection or annulment of the marriage because it violates the rules.

Asking parents' blessing

If it's steady, it's time to ask for the blessing of the parents. For the prospective bride, the blessing of the guardian or biological father is very important for the smooth running of the marriage. In addition to the permission of the biological father, the consent of the biological mother must also be asked for approval. The blessing of both parents will determine the success of building a household.

Apply If the blessing has been pocketed, the prospective groom can go to the parents of the prospective bride to apply or the woman submits a proposal to the man. Because the application functions as a fence so that each prospective bride is not approached by others, activities like husband and wife are not allowed.

Decide where to get married

This theme does not only apply to you and your partner, but it is mandatory for a family discussion. If you want to hold a wedding in a building, the sooner you find a place, the better and cost-effective. Adjust the capacity of the place to the number of guests you and your partner will invite. If you want to save money, the wedding can be held at your or your partner's home, especially if the conditions at home are adequate.

Taking care of marriage administration

You can visit the Marriage Registrar (PPN) in the area where the marriage ceremony will be held. The notification of the will of marriage contains data on the names of the two prospective brides, the day and date of the implementation of the marriage contract, information on the dowry (dowry), as well as the time and place of the implementation of the marriage contract.

Prepare invitations

If you want a more solemn wedding atmosphere, you can choose to limit the number of invited guests who will attend. In addition to being solemn, you can also save costs. Just include your closest family and friends in the invite list.

Prepare catering

Choose the right catering service, of course with good taste and the cost is also not too expensive. You don't have to always use a large and well-known catering service, because this will usually be synonymous with an expensive price.

Ask for recommendations from relatives or relatives who have been married before you, so that later you will not be disappointed with the taste of the food served.

Plan budget

MC, entertainment, and also photography are mandatory in a wedding, so you still have to work on these three things well. You can use the services of friends, relatives, or even colleagues who feel they have talent in doing these things.

Contact them early on and talk about this, including the budgeted funds for the need. So that they can understand and prepare well for the event later.

If all is fulfilled, then you are ready to get married. Prioritize matters related to the legality of marriage both religiously and stately. The wedding party is an effort to announce to the public and express gratitude for the occurrence of marriage.
