JAKARTA - The youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Iriana, Kaesang Pangarep, has undergone a sunkem and siraman procession on Friday, December 9 morning. The procession is part of a series of Javanese traditional events before the brides get married.

"Earlier, Mrs. Iriana cried, then Mas Kaesang cried too. Mas Bobby also cried earlier," Jokowi told the media after the SUNkem and siraman procession, Friday, December 9.

Iriana did not deny that she cried first. He admitted that the cry was an expression of happiness for his youngest son. "I feel happy, happy," said Iriana while looking at Kaesang.

After the sunset and siraman procession, Jokowi also conveyed a message for Kaesang who would build a household with Erina. "We as parents also hope that the families of Mas Kaesang and Mbak Erina in the future can become sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah families," he said.

Meanwhile, Iriana also gave a message to her youngest son. Through a short but deep message, he hopes that Kaesang will be happy. "What is certain is always happy, le," he said.

After the two brides undergo a siraman procession, then Erina will undergo a midodareni procession at her family's residence on Jalan Lombok, Purwosari, Sinduadi Village, Mlati District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta.
