<![CDATA[In this village, there are unique traditions in wedding customs, such as muteske rasan, sedekah ngocek bawang, and various cultural practices in the marriage process, including tepak, pinang dabung, and mokun. The entire series of traditions must be carried out by both families of the bride and groom. A symbol represents something that is used to refer to something else based on societal agreement. The use of symbols contains important values, such as culture, morals, and ethics, which must be passed down to future generations to ensure their preservation as part of local wisdom that should be understood by all layers of society. This study employs a literature review method by collecting various references from books and documentation, as well as conducting interviews to understand the phenomena occurring in the field. The data is analyzed using document studies with a descriptive-analytical approach. In understanding this culture, the research is conducted through the perspectives of philosophy, religion, and culture. The results of the study indicate that the symbols of tepak, pinang dabung, and mokun are part of wedding traditions originating from human ideas and materialized into symbolic objects with philosophical meanings. These symbols reflect the behavioral patterns of the community. From a religious perspective, these symbols are considered acceptable and do not contradict Islamic teachings, as their meanings align with religious values. Thus, culture, which is born from human thought, remains in harmony with religious teachings. Essentially, philosophy, culture, and religion are interconnected and would be incomplete without one another.]]>
