The happy moment for Luna Maya and Maxime Bouttier has finally arrived! Their wedding series began today, Tuesday (6/5). Interestingly, the two brides and grooms invited netizens to join in the "online wedding".
Through an upload on the TS Media account, Luna Maya invited everyone to witness their wedding live. " To Loyal Friends in Place. We invite you to the wedding of Luna & Maxime 6-7 May 2025 ," she wrote in the video.
The event will be broadcast live on Luna Maya's TikTok and YouTube channels, where netizens can also leave comments as a trace of their presence. On Tuesday morning, at around 9 a.m. WIB, the live streaming began by showing the siraman procession held outdoors in Bali.
Several celebrities were seen attending the event, including Nirina Zubir and Ernest Cokelat. The siraman procession, which is part of Javanese customs, took place solemnly.
The sprinkling water was taken from various sources, including a residence in Jakarta, the TS Media office of the Al Azhar Mosque, the residence of the Village Head in Bali, the place of the marriage contract, and zam-zam water. Uniquely, the sprinkling water for Luna Maya also came from the residence of her late father's grandmother, while for Maxime Bouttier some came from Shanghai.
The siraman procession began with Luna Maya's sungkeman to her mother, and continued with washing the feet of the woman who gave birth to her. She appeared graceful wearing a white kebaya and pink cloth, with her hair styled in a bun.
Luna Maya's family also wore uniform kebaya and beskap in soft pink. The atmosphere of the siraman procession was very solemn, seen from Luna Maya's mother who wiped her eyes several times, moved to let her child enter a new phase of life.
"O Allah, our Lord, make this water provide purity and cleanliness from sin and mistakes. And wash me with the wash of Your grace and love," prayed Luna Maya at this event.
After the prayer, Luna changed her clothes to continue the siraman procession. She wore a garland of jasmine flowers that wrapped her body and let her hair down.
This siraman procession is a ritual of inner and outer purification, where water is sprinkled from head to toe symbolizing readiness to enter a new life. After Luna Maya, Maxime Bouttier also carried out a similar procession.
