Semiotics has two figures, namely Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) and Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914). Both developed the science of semiotics in isolation and did not know each other, Saussure and Peirce in Europe in the United States. Scientific background is Linguistics Saussure, while Peirce philosophy. Saussure called semiology developed science ™ (semiology), whereas the construction of Peirce called science of semiotics ™ (Semiotics). In a further development of semiotics ™ is more popular term than the ~ semiology ™. Based on the relationship of signs and objects, Peirce divides signs into three, namely the icon (icon), index (index) and symbol (symbol). The icon is something that serves as a mark based on its resemblance to something else. An index is a sign that the pattern depends on the sign of the existence of an object ~ ™ or denotatum. The symbol is a sign that the relationship between the sign and its object is determined by a generally accepted rule. The following explanation is based on the fact a sign of the relationship with the basic types: A. Icon

The icon is a sign that resembles the object it represents, or a sign that uses a common or similar characteristics to what he meant. In this case the gold ring, set of clothes and money is the daughter of an icon, because these objects represent the actual objects. 2. Index Index is a sign that the sign depends on the nature of the existence of a denotation, so in terms of Peirce is secondness. In other words, the index is a sign that has a connection or affinity with what it represents. In this case Tarub, twin Mayang, and Tuwuhan an index. This is because the item is only found in traditional Javanese wedding ceremony. 3. Symbol The symbol is a sign, the sign and its denotation where the relationship is determined by generally accepted rules or determined by a collective agreement (conversion). Gold ring, set princess dress, jewelry made from gold, diamond and diamond; traditional foods, fruits, betel leaves, peningset, leaf, leaves kluwih, complete with banyan leaves twigs, leaves of weeds, fallen leaves dadap , a strand of rice, Cengkir gadhing, bunch of plantains, black cane, cotton flower and fruit, flowers and Sungkeman setaman a symbol. This is because each item has a symbolic meaning contained therein. D. CLOSING Thus the marriage rites of Java is still used in weddings in Java. When observed in detail, the wedding procession in Java seem intricate or complicated This is because the number of symbol that is used in it. This fact can not be denied, because until recently the Java community is still happy to use a symbol or a symbol of life.
