This is the Real Reason Luna Maya and Maxime Bouttier Held Their Reception on a Workday

Kapanlagi.com - Celebrity couple Luna Maya and Maxime Bouttier finally greeted the media officially as husband and wife at their second reception. This grand event took place at the Four Seasons Hotel, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (30/7/2025), after previously holding their wedding in Bali on May 7, 2025.

One thing that caught attention was the choice of the reception day, which fell on a workday rather than on a weekend like most wedding parties. This immediately raised curiosity about whether there was a special meaning behind the choice of that date.

In response to this question, Luna Maya casually provided a rather amusing explanation. The 41-year-old actress acknowledged that holding an event on the weekend has its own challenges, especially in terms of competition with other events.

1. Initially Held on the Weekend

"Yes, if it's the weekend, we have a hard time competing," she said when met in the Gatot Subroto area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (30/7/2025).

Furthermore, Luna explained that their initial plan was indeed to hold the reception on the weekend. However, the packed event schedule in Jakarta, especially at the location they wanted, made it difficult to realize. Almost all weekend dates are fully booked.

"Actually, we wanted it on the weekend. But because of this and that planning, it's just... Basically, the weekend is definitely filled with events," she revealed.

2. Practical Considerations

Finally, the choice narrowed down to Tuesday or Wednesday. Choosing Wednesday at the end of July was considered the most ideal time. Besides the availability of the venue, that date also became the perfect moment before they both take a short break from their busyness.

"The options are Tuesday or Wednesday, because tomorrow there is also an event. And at the end of July, coincidentally in August we want to take a month off. Want to chao. Chao," Luna said.

This decision shows that behind the grandeur of the event, there are mature practical considerations from both brides. They have to adapt to the existing schedule to celebrate happiness with relatives and colleagues in Jakarta.
