when Meualek Season Arrives

Our visit to the house of a friend to attend his sister's wedding in mid-March 2011, at Village Farm Neubok, Jeumpa District, Southwest Aceh (Abdya). It's a good season to attend if you want to see the habits of the people of this village in the district held a trinket at the wedding.
Of course, this season meualek (partying), and circumcision breeding season, the season continued happy-connection. And according to the custom that has been fixed, the party must be held sambat menyambat. Must be consecutive and must not falter from one party to another party in the same village. The point is that people are not busy-busy with this for another time. When the season was an Alek meualek not implemented, then it must wait for the same season in the next year or two years later.The party started since the new harvest season is over. Harvest all the population is complete. The point is that no distress meualek organizers and the village people did not trouble enough luggage to events held. In contrast to other places, there is a tradition in Abdya anyway (bringing gifts to the bride or the bride circumcision) and Bayeu (meualek family responded by the time the parties are also meualek).
Bayeu tradition and also became the foundation is then that party should be held after the harvest. Because when it is also the "mandatory" in-Bayeu. When not carrying out such a case, then one would be labeled stingy or do not know themselves in socializing, though not absolutely so.
In addition, the implementation process of the party, first in the villages there do it for seven days and seven nights. But then there was a shift habits to three days and three nights. This is caused by the conflict and the economic factors diminishing. However, the real party was also held seven days and seven nights, because the count has been started since the founding party of trustee meetings, public meetings, peudong jambo, and peu-oak langet Leun.
Trustee meeting held seven days before the day of H. The process of trustee meetings are usually attended only by the trustee (the brother of the father's side) and karong (his mother's side) only. Sometimes it also involves the neighboring house to the adjoining owner Alek. The trustee meeting, which discussed the issue of completeness of materials and money for the party. Where there are deficiencies, then saints and karong the meeting will add to it.
These additions are usually in the form of money. Each trustee or indirectly pegged karong by meeting participants as well. The first is usually a give pematoknya, he would give some money, for now the dollar amount of not less than 50,000, 00. Trustee and the money collected will usually be written karong of who and how many in number. This meant that the family will know how much of a guardian or karong her anyway to easily make his Bayeu. However, although this process was not always Bayeu and less the same as what is anyway. All tailored to the circumstances and time.
Four days after the trustee meeting, the youngsters will jointly peudong jambo (tent). This is only done by a young child alone. Usually it's all done in a day, ranging from bamboo to take the pole and pull up memancangnya tent. In addition, on that day also some young people looking for firewood in the forest or nearby gardens. Also on that day the young jackfruit looking for food during the party. On that day the women conducting peu-ek langet Leun (makeup party house) and look for GACA (henna).
Night after peudong jambo and peu-oak Leun langet will be held a general meeting; meeting attended by all the villagers and some brothers from the village outside. General meeting is usually to discuss all matters concerning the party day. In this meeting the house will also do home kameng (giving the young goat symbolically to be tapped in the day) means that the homeowner has waived the right to the young goat, and he be ineligible to adjust how the goat will be utilized. Here also the meeting participants "are required" to contribute to the smooth seikhlasnya event. That same evening the bride of phon start the procession of GACA (first henna is applied on the first night of the party).
Phon GACA GACA will usually be the same as the second, which is only covered at the tips of his hands and feet are all well-covered on foot in the footprint of the bride. On the first night and the two began to look festive party atmosphere. The people in certain social strata will also hold piasan (social custom of ceremonial events, such Rapai, ratep meuseukat, or read the saga) since the first night peugaca (penginaian). But, for some people, just on the eve of GACA uke (henna night carving) alone or in the evening H event is held.
On the night the day, chaos at home meualek sound more lively. Because young children do not sleep as well as elderly men and women in the house. Ahead of the goat will be slaughtered at dawn and had all the spices prepared on it. Young children to peel and chop the jackfruit was at that moment. Custom in the villages Abdya, mixed with jackfruit curry goat, no one with bananas or other fruits.
