In the Betawi wedding tradition, there are customs that are usually carried out to strengthen the brotherhood between families of the bride and groom. These customs are called Ngejot. The Ngejot procession is carried out when a Betawi people is about to hold a celebration, the family has already recorded who the in-house family will be sent gifts in the form of rice and side dishes stored in a hamper.

The family organizing the celebration sends food to the in-house family. The in-house family here is not only the main family that is directly related to the event, for example the bride's / groom's in the wedding ceremony, but the in – house family that have a relationship with the family that organizes the event.

This in-laws family can be younger and older siblings, from the main family or others. Thus, there is a term in Betawi that if you marry your child to someone outside Betawi then he doesn't have an in-laws, because in Betawi there is the “chain-family in-law” system. Where is meant by in-laws not only the parents of the son-in-law but also his extended family.

These in-laws families will receive parcels of rice and their side dishes. The parcel is called Nasi Jotan. Usually, the side dishes served in Nasi Jotan include fried milk fish, chicken or meat, with complementary forms of pickles, rice noodles, serundeng, and others.

Serundeng is a typical Betawi food with the basic ingredients of soybeans or peanuts mixed with coconut and brown sugar which is cooked and shaped like a parallelogram placed on a round tray. The amount of Nasi Jotan sent is adjusted to the number of the family member or the person who will be given the Nasi Jotan. It can be a small tray, or even a large basket.

The main family who received the Nasi Jotan then distributed it to other extended family members such as younger siblings, brothers, cousins, and even neighbors who were considered part of the family. The main in-house or the first recipient of Jotan rice will tell his extended family that the Jotan rice he received comes from A's family for such a date.

With this information, other family members understand that they will be invited to the event on that day. Usually they will gather at the house of the first recipient of Nasi Jotan to go together with the invitation to the invitee. If the distance is far enough to get to the host's house, they take rented public transportation, convoy motorbikes, take pickups and even rent cars for children.

When arriving at the place, usually the host of the event will burn petasan renceng (chain firecrackers). Chain firecrackers are firecrackers made with the axes of each firecracker linked together to form a shawl, at the base of which there is usually a firecracker that is larger in size, called jeguran firecrackers.

The host understands that the entourage has arrived, and is getting ready to receive guests. The bride and groom are required to come down from the aisle to stand in line with the host to welcome their parents / in-laws and their entourage.

This is a form of respect for children to parents / parents-in-law. It is different if what comes is side in – law family (not the main), there is no event of burning firecrackers and welcoming with the bride and groom down from the aisle.
