In Sundanese weddings, there is a unique tradition where the bride and groom pull apart a whole grilled chicken. This ritual, known as Pabetot Bakakak Hayam, may seem simple, but it holds a deep meaning about marriage and partnership. During the ceremony, the couple holds each end of a bakakak hayam (whole grilled chicken) and pulls it apart. The way it breaks symbolizes how they will share responsibilities, fortune, and happiness in their life together. This act represents fairness in marriage, both partners should contribute and support each other equally. More than just a ritual, Pabetot Bakakak Hayam is a meaningful moment that highlights the importance of teamwork in marriage. It serves as a reminder that challenges and blessings should be faced together, with mutual understanding and respect. Although this tradition originates from Sundanese culture, many modern couples embrace it as a fun yet meaningful part of their wedding. It adds a special touch to the celebration while reinforcing the values of sharing and cooperation in married life.
