TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has taken to Instagram to request a blessing for the wedding of his daughter Kahiyang Ayu that will be held today.
“Insha Allah (by God`s will), my daughter will get married tomorrow [today]... It’s a wedding ceremony of a villager. Everything is done by ourselves, it’s not glamorous.

President Jokowi said that his daughter’s wedding ceremony is no different from others. “Don’t compare it with other wedding ceremonies. We celebrate it in a village... it is as it is,” he said.
The ijab kabul (marriage solemnization) of Kahiyang Ayu and her groom will be held today from 9 am to 10:15 am in Solo, Central Java.
