JAKARTA - Senior politician Fadel Muhammad explained about the dowry at the wedding of El Rumi and Syifa Hadju, which he attended. He said that it was not just decoration, the dowry and souvenirs at the event were prepared with a lot of philosophy.
Fadel Muhammad revealed that the dowry given by El Rumi to Syifa Hadju was using foreign currency adjusted to the year's figures.
"The fee is 2,026 pounds. Then there is gold, yes, a lot," said Fadel Muhammad in South Jakarta, Sunday, April 26.
Not only the dowry is fantastic, the invited guests are spoiled with unusual souvenirs. If usually wedding souvenirs are in the form of broken or display items, El Rumi and Syifa Hadju choose to distribute precious metals to guests.
Hana Shahab, Fadel Muhammad's wife, showed the gold pieces that were beautifully packaged in a special container.
"The souvenir is gold. Yes, there is a gold piece in here," said Hana Shahab.
Hana detailed that each guest received a piece of gold weighing 0.2 grams. The selection of gold as a souvenir is not without reason. There is a deep message about financial independence that wants to be conveyed to guests, especially in building a household.
"That gold is all the time people need. Maybe we have to remind households, if there is a little luck, we should buy gold. Because whenever gold can be used for household needs," explained Hana.
He hopes that this souvenir will be a symbol of remembrance so that every family starts to get used to setting aside their livelihood for long-term investment.
"That's why the symbol is to remind us all, let's for our households from now on, save a little gold so that it will become a hill in the long run," he added.
In addition to the details of the dowry and souvenirs, the event also highlights the culinary side of the archipelago. Carrying the concept of brunch or breakfast before noon, typical Javanese dishes are the main menu served.
"The food is Javanese; nasi megono, lodeh, liwet. It's not really much because it's brunch, right, it's impossible to eat too much. It's beautiful, enough," concluded Fadel Muhammad.
