There are five big islands in Indonesia like Java, Sumatera, Kalimantan, Irian and Sulawesi. I live on the island Java. The capital city, Jakarta, is also on Java. There are few ethnic groups on Java, and one of them is my ethnic group, Javanese. Javanese people have a very traditional life style and a strong tradition.
Javanese traditions are different from any other ethnic groups' tradition in Indonesia.
They differ in the culture, wedding ceremony, relationship, and native language. Some people from other ethnic group in Indonesia usually think that our people are too slow and smooth in doing anything. They are not assertive people and their feelings are too sensitive. For Javanese people, marriage differs from western marriages. In Java's culture, the meaning of marriage is not just a marriage between a man and a woman who love each other and then they are legally bound by government or religion, but Javanese's marriage also means that it will also bind together the two families of the couple.
