The term "selibaatoon" translates to "seven days of celebration" in Balinese, referring to the seven-day period during which the ceremony takes place. This period is marked by various rituals and ceremonies that honor the couple and their ancestors.

The selibaatoon ceremony begins with the "pengajian" or "study session," where the couple and their families gather to discuss and finalize the wedding arrangements. This is followed by the "pengantenan" or "engagement ceremony," where the couple formally agrees to marry and exchange vows.

The main event of the selibaatoon is the "pemberkatan" or "blessing ceremony," which takes place on the seventh day. During this ceremony, the couple is blessed by a priest and receives a sacred thread, known as the "sanghyang," which they must wear for the rest of their lives. The couple then exchanges rings and vows to support and protect each other.
