“Mappacci” traditional ceremony was done at the time Tudampenni.”Mapacci” comes from word
“pacci”, which leaves the smoothed to nail trimmer, similar in sound to the
word “paccing”, means clean or pure. Bride symbolizes purity of heart for
tomorrow, especially entering the ark leaving girlhood or boyhood home once a
night which contains a prayer.
In the poem of
Bugis which reads, “duwa kuala sappo unganna panasae nabelo kanukue”. The
explanation of this phrase about the jackfruit called “lempu” which means
honest. While decorating the nails similar-sounding that called “paccing” which
clean and pure.As for equipment and supplies of “mapacci” that divided into
three groups, which is “benno” and “tai bani” and the second group that
contains a pillow, glooves, leaves of banana and jackfruit. “Benno” which is
the fried rice and as symbolizes a hope, presumably the bride will bloom well
developed, clean and honest and in Bugis language called as “mpenno rialei”.
Besides, “tai bani” is the candle of bees, its symbolizes the torch and the
life of bees means governance of social life that we see in life more harmonies
looking, well and does not encroach upon each other. The pillow is a symbol of
prosperity and the gloves is composed of seven pieces, the intention that to
cover the body (self-esteem). The banana leaves is denoted as the continued
life connect and the jackfruit leaves which means noble ideals.
The
photo was story about the marriage of Sukirman Sakka who live in Cabalu which
partner with Masiati from Cempa, Wajo. This marriage execute on September 16th
2011. My relationship with the man who reside in this photo was my cousin.I had
a time to enquire about his experience when “mapacci”. He said, he feld nervous
and he also feld happy because that night was last night to a periode of his
single life.
The conversation between I (A) and my cousin
(B):
A
: What is your wife’s name ?
B : My wife’s name is Masiati.
A : When did your wedding party ?
B : On September 16th 2011 at Cabalu.
A : May I ask the question about the
last night before your married ?
B : Yes, off course.
A : What did you feld at the night that
“mapacci” ?
B : I’m very nervous but the same times i’m very happy because the
night was the last night to the end of my single life.
A : Thank you for the information.I hope you always happy with your
family.
B: Thank you,Aamiin.
In fact, I also have a dream to marry but for
present time possible because I have not yet couple. But I have a girlfriend
and I hope she can be my wife at next time. In my opinion, she is a perfect
woman because she always understand about my life situation. Although her
parents are rich but she has never assumed that a problem to have a relation
with me, who from poor family. If she is my partnerlife, I wil give Rp. 100 000
000.00 as a marriage passing money but I never comparing herself that she is
cheaper than with a BMW and a luxuriant house. I just give her as a thanks
utterance for the love that she give for me. The lucky woman that I mean is
Suriana Binti Nirwansyah.
