I do not want the story to his marriage, but the ritual ceremony "Begalan" I tell this to you. Almost the same way in every marriage, there is a priest, 2 brides and grooms are also families of each bride dresses.
"Begalan" comes from the word "spice" or robbery. Ritual ceremony "begalan" is unique because it is always in the paint with the word funny dialogue of the actors cast "begalan", every dialogue is always tuck word marriage advice for the bride and groom. The robber or the goods carrier in the robber, in a fight and put out the word suppose berpetuah dialogue. The porters carry goods furniture and kitchen cleaver made from wood. The goods carrier or carriers "Brenong braid", accompanied by some dancers in the accompanying gamelan or gending sound, movement and dance along in harmony with gamelan music.
"Brenong braids" are goods which consists of steaming rice, a ladle, a pestle and mortar, winnowing tray, coconut pulp sieve or tea strainer, siwur, fan, and kendil irus. Each item that represents an advice for the bride and groom. For example, rice steamer, this item represents: any decision should be discussed together as husband and wife should think carefully, so that will not be a regret later.
I myself also laughed at the ritual "Begalan" This is because the typical Banyumasan language dialog purwokerto very thick sounding, even if only a little understanding of the meaning of words in the harrier and the robber, I know what it means. Although with laughter but love to collaborate with local traditional arts imperceptibly embedded in my mind and heart.
A clear collaboration of love and art can not always see or enjoy in other places in the area just Purwokerto Central Java alone can see it, and even then if the eldest child bride marriage or first child, and if a second or third child marriage, ritual "begalan" is not held. That is the first girl who got married to be able to be made in an example for younger siblings.
