Question

What is Salam Restu?

Answer

Salam Restu is a heartfelt moment in a traditional Malay wedding where the bride and groom seek blessings and forgiveness from their parents and elders. It typically takes place after the solemnization (akad nikah) and symbolizes respect, gratitude, and the couple’s request for prayers as they begin their new life together. During the ceremony, the couple will approach their parents and close family members, often kneeling or bowing slightly as a gesture of humility. They will kiss the hands of their elders and may receive words of advice, blessings, and emotional well-wishes in return. It is often an emotional part of the wedding, marked by tears, embraces, and quiet reflection.
