Abstract

The wedding ceremony in the Sasak community begins with various stages, including "merarik," "merangkat," "pesejati," "selabar," "nuntutwali," the actual wedding, "trasnekayun," "angkatjanji," "mendakin," and finally, "bales lampak nae." This research aims to understand the implementation process of the "bales lampak nae" tradition and the moral values it holds within the Jerowaru Village of East Lombok Regency. The study utilizes qualitative research with a descriptive research method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation.The research findings indicate that the "bales lampak nae" tradition involves three stages of implementation: preparation, execution, and conclusion. The preparation stage involves family members from the groom's side convening to decide on the date for the "bales lampak nae" and preparing the food to be brought to the bride's family's house. The execution stage involves the groom's family visiting the bride's family, entering their house, and engaging in a communal meal together. The conclusion stage involves handshakes and farewells, as the groom's family departs from the bride's family. In essence, the "bales lampak nae" tradition is considered complete.The "bales lampak nae" tradition embodies moral values, including ethical values, religious values, and, finally, family values.
