Assalamualaikum,
Continued from yesterday's entry. The engagement ceremony is where the family from both sides come to an agreement that both their children are engaged and start to plan for a wedding. Normally the engagement period is for one year (but still open for negotiation whether to shorten the period or lenghten it; 'setahun hidup' - the term that normally used).
In the ceremony, the 'engagement ring' will be presented to the family of the girl. Upon agreement of the term and condition including the 'hantaran' or gifts, the ring will be presented to the girl ('menyarung cincin').

Thank you.
