Batak and Betawi cultures make for beautifully lavish weddings
An impressive Batak Mandailing traditional house decorated with golden etchings stood tall behind Tondi Nikita Lubis and Yurika Andari as the newlyweds were congratulated first by President Joko Widodo and then Vice President Jusuf Kalla. Flanked by Todung Mulya Lubis and Damiyati Soendoro, Tondi’s parents,
and Aldo S. Rachman and Iin Sari Indah, Yurika’s parents, the families then posed for photos with each leader. Held in the Grand Ballroom and Indonesia Room of the Shangri-la Hotel Jakarta, Tondi and Yurika looked regal in matching red-and-gold traditional Mandailing attire paired with richly decorated ulos cloth. Relatives and friends together with VVIPS, ministers, and other honoured guests—including the National Police Chief of Indonesia, Police- General Tito Karnavian, and the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti—enjoyed a lavish banquet and worldclass entertainment by Big Enterprise throughout the merry night.
