Mrs Vera Tobing giving an ulos at my sister's ( Bintang Irene ) wedding party on January 21st, 2006. (mangulosi, means to bless).
Then the unlucky one was my sister. She got no bless from her tulang and tulang didn't come in her wedding. But my mother ask me to write his name in invitation, and running the mangulosi processing eventhough there was no adat ceremony.
I will send you the better quality of mangulosi photos from my sister wedding and mine too.
My brothers and sisters:
1. Sondang E br. Tarihoran married BM Hasibuan (south Tapanuli)
2. Anthony MH Tarihoran married R br. Damanik (Simalungun)
3. Edyson S Tarihoran (died before got married)
4. Maria DR br.Tarihoran married EHGA Ambesa (Flores/Rote south east Timor)
5. Rudy SP Tarihoran
6. Bintang I br.Tarihoran married R Prahasta (father east Java, mother s.e
Timor)
The photo in Bintang's wedding:
-The older woman with ragidup around her is bridegroom's (Rudy's) mother (Mrs
Maria Mimi Suwarno Harso Lakusa)
- The man was given ragihotang is Rudy's uncle and the woman beside him is
Mrs MM Lakusa's sister)
-The textile over Rudy's Ragihotang is saroong (its name : mandar hela/ son
in law's saroong). This saroong brings message for the son in law to be a
handy person in any adat ceremony because he -on behalf his wife's side- is
boru and boru gets the 'busy job/servant' in adat ceremony. (hula-hula gets
honored position/role).
My -and Eben's and Rudy's- family wouldn't mind you use the mangulosi photos.
