Gratitude Marriage
Saturday, at 7.30 pm finished praying isya invited guests have attended and sit down please dressed in green carpet in the living room of Mr. Nuri's house. They are residents of Puri Asri housing complex who were deliberately invited by Mr. Nuri in order to give thanks (walimatul ursy) for the wedding of his daughter named Yuli who was married to Mas Bagus this morning. There were about 100 residents present at Mr. Nuri's house in order to walimatul ursy on that night.
Shortly afterwards, Ustadz Salam who had received a mandate from Mr. Nuri to lead prayers in walimatul ursy now began to deliver his speech.
“Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh” greetings the ustadz.
“Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” replied the audience sitting in the living room.
“That I respect Mr. Zainuri as the host.
I respect the father of RT, RW and community leaders and attendees as well as residents of Puri Asri housing community.
And the happy two brides namely Mas Bagus Saputra and Mbak Yuli Astuti who had married on Saturday morning.
First of all let us give thanks to Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala who has given us pleasure in the form of health and opportunity, so that at night we can attend and gather at the house of Mr. Zainuri in order to meet the invitation of Mr. Zainuri and his family in the event walimatul ursy wedding of his daughter named Yuli Astuti with mas Bagus Saputra.
The second time, sholawat and salam, we still offer to our lord the Great Prophet Muhammad shallallahu alaihi wassalam who has guided us from the dark ages to this bright era.
The third time, I (ustadz Salam) as the representative of Mr. Zainuri, to express gratitude to the ladies and gentlemen who at night have been willing to take the time to attend the house of Zainuri father in order to celebrate the marriage of his daughter (Yuli Astuti with mas Bagus Saputra).
Ladies and gentlemen, whom I respect, Alhamdulillah, this morning, Bagus Saputra has performed the hijab and qabul of marriage with mbak Yuli in front of the pengupulu father, so the two of them have now legally become a married couple.
The name of the wife, it is like a field for the husband, and so that the field of rice fields produce good and superior plant seeds, so mas Bagus as the husband must work the fields in a good way as well.
So later, before Mas Bagus hooked his wife, it is recommended to pray first. As for when you want to pray before hiring your wife, it should not only use Arabic, but use Indonesian or regional languages such as Javanese, madura or Sundanese, it should also be.
It seems that if a newlywed couple, before hiring his wife, must read the prayer first, how does it seem too late.
While mas Bagus already kadung ngebet not because you want to immediately taste honey mongso yes already Yuli prepared for mas Bagus a person. Hhhh...” said ustadz Salam while laughing to entertain existing guests
“Bila mas Bagus did not have time to read prayer, because kadung ngebet, at least before mas Bagus memuli Yuli (wife), it is enough to read bismillah only.” continued ustadz Salam.
Hearing the words of welcome or speech ustadz Salam is quite funny, then mas Joko, mas Irfan and the audience in the guest hall immediately laughed all. While mas Bagus can only smile because of the joke.
“All the ladies and gentlemen I respect. We need to know together that the name of soul mate, starch and sustenance is all there is to regulate, and our duty as servants is to try and pray, the one who decides the result is Allah SWT.
As we all know, there are many cases or events that have happened and we see together around us, there are a pair of young people who have long loved each other and then they dated, but it turns out they are not fools. There is also a young couple whose beginning they did not date each other, but finally God brought them together in the guarantee, they married into a couple.
As the word of God in Surah Ar-Rum verse 21 means, And among His signs (greatness) is that He created pairs for you of your own kind, that you may tend to feel at ease with him, and He makes you feel love and affection. Verily in this are signs (of the greatness of God) for a people who think.
Because the soul mate is a secret, and we should not protest the gift of a spouse or husband.
They are there that look harmonious like a betel nut split in two. There is also a high-bodied husband and large-bodied like Bima, it turns out his wife is small-bodied.” said pak ustadz.
“When I talk of a big tall man like Bima, then the shadow that sneaks into the mind of the bride is usually someone so tall, big and burly, how much?" continued Ustadz Salam who was greeted with laughter by the audience all.
“And on the contrary, his wife is fat, it turns out her husband is skinny.
That is the soul mate, all existing couples, it complement each other will be the shortcomings and advantages of their partner as the word above earlier.
So the preface of a short greeting from me, because if my speech is too long, worry later. Because a pair of brides (good gold and mbak Yuli) from earlier seemed to be restless and impatient again, so that this event quickly finished and dissolved." say Ustad Salam as laughter and jokes are greeted with smiles and laughter also by the audience.
"So after the audience all go to their respective homes, then later tonight mas Bagus can immediately taste honey mongso that has mbak Yuli prepared specially for mas Bagus beloved husband." he continued with laughter.
The audience laughed again to hear the lecture of Ustadz Salam in a joking tone to the bride and ladies and gentlemen.
“Madu mongso/honeymoon (honey that can mas Bagus enjoy samongo-mongso(at any time) whenever they want." he continued.
The laughing audience all heard the talk of Ustadz Salam with his style/gestur is quite funny.
“Yes is okay anyway, right they are officially married into a husband and wife, so mbak Yuli is now halal for mas Bagus gauli. Continue ustadz Salam on the sidelines of the audience who are still smiling with a smile on their lips.
All right ladies and gentlemen, let this event be finished not too late at night, the next event let us read Yasin's letter together, together, and the reward gift of reading the letter Yasin we present to both the bride and the bride and her family relatives, in order to mas Bagus and mbak Yuli in building his household can be a family that is sadinah mawaddah warahmah happy all the time and blessed with children who are sholeh/sholehah.” said ustadz.
“Amin...” says attend compact.
“Al-Fatihah.” says ustadz salam start thanksgiving by reading Al-Fatihah letter followed by the audience.
Ustadz Salam and ladies and gentlemen read Yasin's letter together, fifteen minutes later after they finished reading Yasin's letter, Ustadz Salam then prayed to by the audience.
After they finished praying, the next event was a break while enjoying a delicious soto rice treat served by the host for the audience.
The atmosphere of togetherness that exists, making the hot and delicious soto rice feels more delicious, so that the audience is so enjoying the dinner treat. Finished enjoying the existing treats, now each audience gets a bag of rice and delicious cakes in a box as a hand for them.
Greetings at the end of walimatul ursy
“Gentlemen whom I respect, perhaps in order for Mr. Zainuri to welcome the gentlemen all in this walimatul ursy, there is something less pleasing in the hearts of the audience, all, I as the representative of Mr. Zainuri as the host, apologise profusely.” said ustadz.
“Ya equally,” replied the existing audience.
“And maybe in my speech earlier, there are words that are less pleasing in the hearts of all attendees, I as the one who led the event at this ursy walimatul, apologise profusely. So welcome from me, I end Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.” said Ustadz Salam at the end of his speech.
“Sama-sama, Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.” replied ladies and gentlemen.
After the audience followed the walimahan, mas Bagus, Pak Nuri, Irfan and mas Joko also took off and greeted all those who wanted to return home after they followed the walimahan with wisdom.
“Welcome to live a new life mas Bagus, good luck always.” said mr. RT, Mr. RW, and other residents when they say goodbye after walimahan.
“Ya thank you sir,” replied mas Bagus when shaking off their departure.
The time has shown at 09.00 pm, mas Joko and mas Irfan are still sitting and chatting casually in the living room with mas Bagus. Semantara Lili, Nana, Bik Wati and some relatives of the existing family, seem still busy packing hundreds of bowls and glasses on the living room carpet.

In the courtyard there are mang Ali, kang Dori, Aris and some neighbors who seem still cool with the chess game they play in between filling the time on weekend nights.
A little kettles of hot black coffee and snacks on the plate lying on the mat became friends as they enjoyed the night with the excitement of the chess game.
Position is still 1-0, 1 score is on the side of mang Ali as the winner, while the score of kang Dori is still 0.
Because Dori kang lost the chess game in the first round, then the right cheek of Dori kang got a strip of black paint made of firewood charcoal that is gently rubbed with cooking oil.
“Come spirit kang Dori,” said Aris to kang Dori who has passed the pawn two steps forward.
“Oke, ready Ris, it was kang Dori was deliberately succumbing to mang Ali, is still warming up.” said kang Dori with a smile.
Mang Ali just smiled to hear the discord from Dori kang who in the first round was so difficult to ward off the attacks of chess mang Ali who always come threatening vital points for ster safety, ster, horses and fortresses as core lines in a king's defense system that leads the war with a high level of strategy.
Only three pawns who advanced and stepped forward, now suddenly, the mang Ali glide had slid to annex the horse belonging to the Dori kang.
“Asem, don't know me,” said kang Dori who suddenly clipped his chess horse kang Ali kliding that came quite shocking to himself kang Dori.
Mang Ali just smiled, felt funny with the strategy steps of Dori kang is still amateuran, so every step of the chess pieces that made Ali moves to outwit the opponent's movements, always making the opponent's teledor.
Kang Dori was increasingly serious about glaring at the chess pieces in front, once he scratched his head that did not itch.
“Awas, the fortress is in threat,” said Aris reminded kang Dori who was quite troubled to ward off the motion and strategy of kang Ali as an opponent.
“Oh, yes,” replied the serious Kang Dori on his slide that was attacked.
“This slide me how is Ris?” ask Kang Dori who got two threats at once (the fort and the launcher are in danger).
“Close the attack by launching the mang Ali with a pawn forward one step forward.” replied Aris gave a solution.
Fifteen minutes later, Kang Dori lost again for the second round, the left cheek can now be one black stripe paint as well.
“Wah apparently mang Ali is not an arbitrary opponent,” said kang Dori who ended the game.
“Already night mang Ali, how about tomorrow night we connect again mang,” said kang Dori while packing chess pieces into the chess box.
“Oke, ready,” replied mang Ali while chuckling for facing an amateur opponent kang Dori.
Now, after they ended the chess game, the atmosphere at the house of Mr. Nuri was again quiet.
Mas Bagus who has cleansed the body and berwudhu is now preparing to perform his own Islamic prayers. A second later he had raised both hands while saying the takbiratul ihram as intending the 4 rakaat isya prayer memorization in the heart.
Five minutes later, he finished performing the 4 rakaat prayer with enough lightning. Quickly enough, he then headed to the wife's room which spread a fragrant aroma quite alluring.
