Generally speaking, in Wenzhou, the dates of birth of both men and women should be given to experts in Zhouyi, who will give you several permutations and combinations for you to choose from. It is suggested to choose the engagement date later, because there are many things to prepare or you will be in a hurry.

Then the engagement date doesn't have to be on weekends or holidays, but the wedding date is best on weekends or holidays.

In Wenzhou, engagement wine and wedding wine are held jointly by men and women, so the number of wine tables should reach at least 20.

The production method of sugar apricot is to dye white sugar red, fry it into thick juice, then press it into pomegranate shape with a mold and cool it. This is a major feature of Wenzhou engagement ceremony, which you can't see anywhere else. Wenzhou's wedding candy is different in size, and the man is responsible for all the wedding candy that the woman needs, including the red envelope in the wedding candy.
