Abstract

The Cio Tou ceremony is a traditional wedding ceremony that is deeply meaningful because it honors God, ancestors, nature, and parents. The main objective of this research is to discover the semiotic processes at work and to identify the various types of meaning embodied within the 12 bowls used in the Cio Tou ceremony. A semiotic approach is used to look into the multitude of meanings associated with this ceremony. This study employs a descriptive methodology and a qualitative research design. Interviews were used to collect data, allowing researchers to examine the 12 different types of food served in different bowls. The findings from this study reveal the existence of 12 distinct food bowls, each presenting a unique flavor profile. The significance lies in the fact that every taste of these diverse culinary creations carries a profound symbolism for the soonto-be wedded couple, signifying their future journey in establishing a harmonious household. The inclusion of bitter, sweet, and salty flavors serves as a metaphor for the inevitable ups and downs that await them, illustrating that life may not always unfold according to their desires. The researcher desires that this study will be useful to students studying semiotics. It is further suggested that subsequent researchers evaluate the factors to be regarded when selecting the twelve types of food essential to the Cio Tou ceremony. All aspects of this study were carefully witnessed by the researchers.
