In the rich tapestry of cultural traditions, few celebrations are as joyous and symbolic as Sangjit. Rooted deeply in Chinese culture, Sangjit is a time-honored ritual that marks the union between two families and the forthcoming marriage of their children. Steeped in symbolism and tradition, this vibrant ceremony is often hosted in a Chinese restaurant, blending culinary delights with heartfelt customs.

At its core, Sangjit embodies the spirit of familial harmony and unity. It serves as a bridge between two families, symbolizing their acceptance and embrace of one another as they prepare to embark on a new journey together. The ceremony typically takes place weeks before the wedding, serving as a precursor to the main event while also allowing families to bond and celebrate in anticipation.

One of the defining features of Sangjit is the exchange of gifts between the bride and groom's families. These gifts, known as "hantaran" in Indonesian-Chinese culture, are meticulously chosen to symbolize prosperity, good fortune, and blessings for the couple's future. Traditional items such as fruits, cakes, jewelry, and even household necessities are carefully arranged and presented, signifying the families' hopes for the newlyweds' happiness and success.

Guests will be treated to a feast of delectable Chinese cuisine, ranging from savory dim sum to succulent Peking duck, creating a memorable culinary experience that enhances the joyous atmosphere of the occasion.

In essence, when holding the Sangjit ceremony at Golden Lotus Restauant it is more than just a prelude to a wedding; it is a celebration of love, family, and cultural heritage and a sumptuous feast.
