What is the custom of Taixing engagement?

1: The parents of both sides negotiated their engagement, mainly to fix the yellow calendar and the dowry of the man. The amount of the gift depends on the family conditions of both parties. At present, the standard is about 88888- 108000 (Binbin's family gave 500,000 yuan, which is definitely not so much, and it's not selling her daughter, but her mother said she planned to accept it 108000).

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 start with what men give women. A set of jewelry includes earrings, bracelets (Binbin bought me bracelets), anklets, necklaces, a pair of rings and a diamond ring (Binbin bought me a carat diamond, which was my childhood dream). Oh! We also have a pair of omega watches. And a pair of sugar, gold and apricots. Wenzhou wedding candy has different sizes. The man is responsible for all the wedding candy the woman needs, including the red envelope in the wedding candy, except some friends of her parents. (At present, 50- 100 red envelopes are all given by the woman herself. Binbin's family said that 100 is not as beautiful as it is, but I am also very distressed. ).

What the woman wants to buy is a suit, two shirts, two ties (we didn't want them, but Bing said we didn't need them), two pairs of shoes (a pair of casual shoes and a pair of leather shoes, we bought Di Lei's casual shoes and a pair of Armani's leather shoes, and Binbin liked them very much, and the shoes and clothes went to Shanghai twice) and two pairs of socks (both were more than 200 yuan, really). ! ! A red envelope for the best man, 580 yuan! A set of dishes has 88 yuan and 98 yuan 108 yuan, which can be purchased according to the situation. My mother loves me very much and bought me a set of 198 and a set of 88. ) There are six kinds of oranges, cakes, dates, longan, lotus seeds and peanuts. Then return the candied apricots sent by the man to the man, and the money received will be returned according to the economic conditions. If the woman's condition is generally 88888, it will be returned to the man, ranging from 38888 to 58888. The rest of the money will be used to buy things for the man and buy a new house later. If the woman's conditions are good, she will accept all the gifts and buy a car for the man.

3. Engagement Day: Wenzhou people now have two kinds of engagement parties. One is a banquet at the woman's house at noon, attended by the man's parents and best man, and the man invites the woman back at night. The other is that both parents and close relatives and friends hold a banquet in the hotel to get engaged. Generally, there are more choices for the latter in urban areas now. (We are the same. On June165438+1October 19, a banquet was held in the Peony Hall of awei Building. 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 (the box of money means that the woman's brother or sister won't leave until you give him money, which is the explanation of the older generation. ) The suitcase is about 5800- 10800. After arriving at the hotel, give tea to both parents and toast to friends and relatives to witness your love.
