The Controversy of Denny Caknan and Bella Bonita's Wedding with the Unraised Kembar Mayang, What Does It Mean?

Kembar Mayang is a symbolic decorative ornament in Javanese traditional weddings consisting of a series of janur (young coconut leaf), fruits, multicolored flowers, and banana tree trunk.

Kembar Mayang, which is always made in pairs, is used as decoration on the right and left side of the wedding stage with the philosophy of symbolizing happiness for the couple.

But not only the form itself is full of philosophical meaning, the way Kembar Mayang is carried in the temu manten procession also has its own meaning according to Javanese culture.

According to Ki Hadi Siswoko, who is a cultural expert, Kembar Mayang must be lifted high above the head because it signifies the importance of setting a good example.

"The twins are lifted above the head so that both the bride and groom must be exemplary with the appearance of twin mayang because the twins are the same and mayang is the will, having the same will," said Ki Hadi Siswoko, as quoted from the YouTube channel Jiwa Jawi.

Another source also states that the high-lifted Kembar Mayang also signifies that the bride is still a maiden or virgin.

Meanwhile, Kembar Mayang should not be lifted above the stomach when the bride is already pregnant, for fear of miscarriage of the fetus she carries.

In connection with this, the meeting procession of Denny Caknan and Bella Bonita immediately sparked assumptions among netizens who often mention "Javanese people must understand".

Netizens who also matched the assumption posted by Denny Caknan, who referred to Bella Bonita as "the mother of my future children" before they officially got married.

However, in the end, time will answer all the assumptions and speculations of netizens on social media. What do KLovers think about it?
