TEMPO.CO, Solo – Sujiatmi Notomiharjo, President Jokowi’s mother, has announced the wedding date of Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the president’s eldest child, with Selvi Ananda.
“On June 11,” she said at Pedaringan Solo on Friday, April 24, 2015.
Sujiatmi said the wedding would be held at Grha Saba Building, which is owned by President Jokowi. According to plans, the wedding’s solemnization and reception will take place on the same day.
Preparations for the wedding are now afoot, with First Lady Iriana known to have ordered wedding clothing from two fashion designers in Solo—Tuti Adib and Hanif Aisyah Nanjaya—while the catering would be handled by Jokowi’s family.
“We have our own catering business,” Sujiatmi said, referring to Gibran’s Chili Pari catering services.
In a mid-April press conference, Iriana, Gibran and Selvi were still noncommittal when asked about the wedding date, saying they were still figuring out the best day.
