Wearing a navy blue suit, Prabowo drew attention as he entered the venue shortly after stepping out of his official Indonesia-made vehicle.
Rumi and Hadju are both musicians and actors. The groom is the second son of Ahmad Dhani, widely known as the frontman of Dewa 19, and currently a legislator from Prabowo’s Gerindra Party.
The president told reporters he attended the event due to his close ties with Ahmad Dhani and his family.
“I have a close relationship with Mr. Ahmad Dhani and his family, so it is only natural for me to attend upon invitation, as he is also a cadre of my party,” he said.
He added that he had the opportunity to sample dishes served at the reception, including curry laksa.
“Praise be to God, the event is proceeding smoothly,” he said.
The head of state also extended his best wishes to the newly married couple. “I wish them all the best,” he added.
Prabowo left the hotel at around 8 p.m. local time, accompanied by Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia.
Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka arrived at the venue about 20 minutes after the president’s departure.
Also attending the event, Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar praised the reception and the couple’s families.
“They are remarkable people who have raised wonderful children. They inspire us all,” he said.
Other notable guests included House of Representatives Speaker Puan Maharani, Tourism Minister Widyanti Putri Wardhana, and Minister of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Maman Abdurrahman.
