11 Sweet Moments of Cut Meyriska and Roger Danuarta's Henna Night, There's a Shy Smile

The night before their wedding day, Cut Meyriska and Roger Danuarta held a henna night. This is a Minangkabau traditional event that signifies a woman's last moments as a single woman.

During this night, the bride-to-be's hands are adorned with a fine paste of henna leaves that will give color to her nails and hands. Not all fingers are adorned with henna, out of the 10 fingers, only 9 are applied with henna. Why is that? Find out here...

After holding a religious gathering and continuing with mano pucok, Cut Meyriska and Roger Danuarta held a night event called berinai.

During this berinai night, Cut Meyriska will decorate her nails with crushed henna leaves. This is a Minangkabau tradition that Chika used in one of her wedding ceremonies.

Before the berinai night event took place, Chika sought blessings from her parents and elder family members who were present there.

This is the henna leaves that will be crushed and applied to Chika's nails. Unlike ready-made henna paste, henna leaves need to be crushed directly at the wedding location.

One by one, Chika's nails are adorned with henna. There are a total of 9 nails decorated with crushed henna leaves. The meaning behind this is that humans are not perfect. Meanwhile, the number 10 represents perfection, which belongs only to God.

After being left overnight, the nails decorated with henna will change color to red.
