Tingjing (定親) in PIK 2 Jakarta ANGKE Heritage Jovan and Claudia

Tingjing (定親) is a traditional Chinese engagement ceremony where the groom's family officially asks for the bride's hand in marriage, often marked by the gifting of a necklace to symbolize the binding of the couple. It acts as a formal betrothal to "settle the marriage," usually held well before the wedding, distinct from the later, more extensive Sangjit gift-exchange ceremony.  Key Aspects of the Tingjing Ceremony: • Purpose: To officially propose and lock in the marriage, signaling a binding commitment between the two families. • Symbolic Gift: The groom’s family presents a necklace to the bride, representing the formal acceptance of the engagement. • Timing: Traditionally, this takes place months or even up to a year before the wedding, allowing time for planning, whereas Sangjit happens much closer to the wedding date. • Distinction from Sangjit: While Tingjing focuses on the commitment (often just the necklace), Sangjit (or Sang Jit) is the ceremony where various gifts are exchanged in many trays. • Modern Practices: Often, modern couples combine Tingjing and Sangjit into one event to simplify the process, with the necklace exchange occurring as the first part of the celebration. • Atmosphere: The event is typically decorated in traditional Chinese wedding styles, featuring red, gold, and elements like Chinese antiques or modern, romantic themes.
