Where is the engagement custom and process of Wenzhou people, preferably Longgang?

Engagement: 1. Parents of both sides meet to discuss the engagement, mainly to determine the amount of the yellow calendar and the man's dowry. At present, it is 6.5438+0.08 million, but it mainly depends on the economic conditions of both sides. The gift money received is returned according to the economic situation. If the woman's condition is generally 88888, it will be returned to the man, ranging from 38888 to 58888. If the woman's condition is good, she will accept all the gift money and buy the man a car. There must be plenty of time before the engagement day. In the meantime, we need to buy what we need for our engagement. Let's start with what the man gives the woman. (1) A set of gold ornaments. Including earrings, bracelets, (anklets), necklaces, a pair of rings and a diamond ring (the price of diamond ring is about 15000). In fact, you can also go to the gold shop to buy a loose diamond, and then choose the style you like to build it. Prices vary greatly, which can save about 35%. Note: If you ask your parents first, some parents like to buy 24K pure gold, thinking that it can preserve the value, but young people don't like it. 2 like candy. Including a pair of sugar, gold and apricots. Wenzhou wedding candy is divided into different sizes, and the man is responsible for all the wedding candy that the woman needs, including the red envelope in the wedding candy (currently 50- 100 is given, depending on the conditions of both parties and the number of wedding candy). 3 watches. In the past, this was to set the watch. Nowadays, because all kinds of electronic products have the function of watches, it is also common to buy only one for the woman. The price depends on their preference for styles and economic conditions, usually around 1 10,000. What the lady wants to buy is: (1) a suit, two shirts, two ties, two pairs of shoes (a pair of casual shoes and a pair of leather shoes), two sets of casual clothes, a dozen socks, a gold bracelet and a necklace (if the red envelope for the best man is less than 580, you need to buy another shirt for the best man). (I don't know about gold, and I didn't make it at that time.) (2) A set of dishes has 88 pieces, 98 pieces, and 108 pieces to choose from, which can be purchased according to the situation. Now Wenzhou's shops are mainly concentrated in Jiefang Road and Fei Xia North Road (I bought them in a ceramic shop opposite Tiejinglan on Jiefang North Road, and the quality is good. I can go to the original store if I break it. It is recommended to shop around and compare more, otherwise the price difference between the parties is not small. You must choose a date to send a bowl. Wenzhou people have a saying of "stability", which is the homonym of "bowl" in Wenzhou dialect. At present, bowls on the market are divided into bone China and ceramics. It is recommended to buy ceramics, which are resistant to high temperature and are not easy to crack. After a long time, they are not as easy to scale as bone China. Also note that you'd better buy a microwave oven, which will be very practical in the future. (3) Six samples were divided into oranges, cakes, dates, longan, lotus seeds and peanuts. Then send one of the candied apricots sent by the man back to the man (there is a special store in Wenzhou to buy six kinds, which saves a lot of time and energy. There is one near the Xicheng Road vegetable market, which is specially wrapped with washbasin and wrapping paper, and needs to be reserved about one week in advance). 3. Engagement Day: Wenzhou people now have two kinds of engagement parties. One is that the woman's family holds a banquet at noon to entertain the man's parents and best man, and the man invites the woman back in the evening. The other is that parents, relatives and friends hold a banquet in the hotel to get engaged. Generally, there are many people who choose the latter in urban areas now. In the afternoon, the man drove to the woman's house to greet her and her parents, and gave her brother or sister a box of money (bringing money means that the woman's brother or sister will not let her sister get married and refuse to leave, and he will only let her go if you give him money. According to the explanation of the older generation, if the woman is an only child, she will give the money to her mother). About the suitcase, some money was given on the wedding day. The suitcase cost is about 5800- 10800. After arriving at the hotel, give tea to both parents and toast to friends and relatives to witness your love. Drink ~ ~ ~) "
