Abstract
This study aims to revisit the cultural processes involved in wedding ceremonies within the Bugis community in South Sulawesi. Weddings in Bugis culture are traditionally perceived as intricate events, comprising numerous stages leading up to the main ceremony, enriched with ritual customs and cultural values that have been passed down through generations. These processes involve the active participation of extended family members, relatives, and the surrounding community in the preparation and execution of the wedding. The complexity and high cost of Bugis wedding traditions are deeply rooted in the cultural principle of siri, which emphasizes the importance of honor and dignity.
