The wedding couple is blessed by a Pemangku priest and his wife.
Pemangku are simple, good-natured souls who live near the temple, leading normal lives except when a temple celebration makes them the center of attention.
Before a ceremony takes place, the family gives an offering of money to the Pemangku's shrine of spiritual power (taksu).
A Pemangku doesn't make a living as a priest, but works as a farmer or merchant. But in this case of the wedding ceremony he is calling the good demons for giving the couples a good future.
