Membuka bedak and Berpacar

Fourth event: Membuka badak. For both bride and groom. Occasion when they both start preparing for the wedding. Start with whole body scrub, installation of wedding stage, start wearing traditional jewelers (keroncong, for hands)…pic shows one of the ingredients used for the scrub… its NOT the same as body scrub you get in shops… the idea is the same but the ingredients are different… well in-a-way maybe about the same if you go for traditional scrub.

Fifth event: Berpacar. I can’t recall the name in English… this is when they color their fingers and feet with traditional coloring (orange color). Believes to be originated from India.
