ABSTRACT Kertas kerja ini berisi tentang upacara pernikahan adat Mandailing. Penulisan ini mengkhususkan pada tahap-tahap yang dilakukan dalam upacara pernikahan di daerah Mandailing. Adapun manfaat penulisan tentang upacara pernikahan ini adalah untuk mengetahui lebih dalam tentang tata cara pelaksanakan pernikahan menurut adat-istiadat asli Mandailing. Dalam mengerjakan kertas karya ini saya menggunakan beberapa cara yaitu 1. Dengan metode penelitian kepustakaan dengan mengumpulkan buku-buku yang dianggap sesuai dengan topik kertas karya. 2. Dengan penelusuran beberapa situs-situs yang berhubungan dengan upacara pernikahan Mandailing Diakhir kata, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Mandailing ternyata tetap masih memiliki keunikan yang tak pernah pudar dimakan zaman. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari peninggalan budayanya yang begitu memikat yang salah satunya adalah tata upacara pernikahannya. Adapun kita sebagia makhluk yang berbudaya hendaknya tetap menghargai adat-istiadat yang telah menjadi ciri khas negara kita dengan cara melestarikan keindahan dan keunikan dari setiap suku-suku yang ada di Indonesia ini. 7
