Paes pinanganten [ javanese language ] means wedding face painting , the culture is inheritance of javanese hundreds years ago. And today people of java still use the style culture and improve it well. But as well the muslim culture came to java island , paes pinanganten has been changed with wedding jilbab by some muslim people. Recently only half of javanese make it the culture loyaly and another forget it. And also western wedding style [ church style ] slowly influence the javanese wedding ceremony too.
