Abstract

Weddings without receptions are a growing trend in society, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to examine how adolescents in Tebing Tinggi City perceive the trend of weddings without receptions, in terms of their understanding, evaluation, and attitudes. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted based on perception theory, which encompasses the stages of selection, organization, and interpretation, as well as the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory. The research informants were adolescents in Tebing Tinggi City. The results indicate that adolescents understand weddings without receptions as weddings that only involve the marriage ceremony without a large celebration. They consider such marriages valid both religiously and legally, but they are still often viewed as less acceptable by society because the reception has become a tradition. Knowledge regarding this phenomenon is largely obtained from social media, family, and peers. Most adolescents support marriage without a reception because it is considered simpler and more realistic, and they even state they would choose it in the future. However, social prestige remains the main obstacle to societal acceptance.
