Engagement = marriage?

1. Both parents meet to discuss their 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. During this time, we need to buy what two people need to get engaged. Let's talk about what the man gave the woman first.

(1) A set of gold ornaments. Including earrings, bracelets, (anklets), necklaces, a pair of rings and a diamond ring (the price of a diamond ring is about 15000). In fact, you can also go to the goldsmith shop to buy a bare diamond and choose your favorite style to make it. The price varies 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. Include 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 (at present, 50- 100 is given, depending on the conditions of both parties and the number of wedding candy).

(3) watches. It used to be to adjust the watch. Now that all kinds of electronic products have the function of watches, it is very common to buy only one for the woman. The price depends on their preference for styles and economic conditions, generally around 10 thousand.

What this woman wants to buy is:

(1) When the man got engaged, he wore a suit, two shirts, two ties, two pairs of shoes (a pair of casual 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 didn't know about gold, and I didn't do it at that time.

(2) A set of dishes with 88 pieces, 98 pieces and 108 pieces can be purchased as appropriate. It is recommended to shop around and compare more, otherwise the price difference between the two sides is not small. You must choose a date to deliver the bowl. There is a saying that "stability" is a homophonic "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 not easy to crack, and are not as easy to scale as bone China after a long time. There is also attention, it is best to 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 a preserved apricot sent by the man back to the man (six kinds can be bought in specialty stores, which saves a lot of time and effort, and are specially wrapped in washbasin and wrapping paper, which needs to be booked about a week in advance).

3. Engagement Day: There are two kinds of engagement parties at present. 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 both parents and close 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 the woman's brother or sister a box of money (carrying a box of money means that the woman's brother or sister won't let her go until you give him money. According to the explanation of the older generation, if the woman is an only child, she will give it to her mother). About the suitcase money, some were 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.

Get married:

1. Once the wedding date was confirmed, I started to book hotels and arrange banquets. Now it seems that I have to book the banquet one year in advance. I feel dizzy. Everyone will get married on a good day.
