Generally, there is a matchmaker as a middleman, and both men and women are invited to meet, usually the man goes to the woman's house. Once they like each other, they will meet each other at the door. Then the two sides discussed the terms of bride price, dowry and bride price.

The man should calculate the engagement date and then inform the woman that the man should prepare four gifts when he goes to the woman's house: cigarettes, wine, dried fruits and cakes, as well as engagement money and hardware. Parents of both sides meet, have dinner, and determine the marriage and the approximate marriage time. After the engagement, the man will send someone to the woman's house to discuss the bride's birthday, and ask the fortune teller to choose the wedding date according to the birthdays of both men and women. This process is called getting along. When the conditions are good and the wedding date is decided, the man will also write a wedding list, famous precautions when getting married, and bring clothes and washbasin to the woman's house. This process is good. After the delivery, you should make an appointment to go to the woman's house to get a dowry. The route of dowry is the same as on the wedding day. On the wedding day, we don't take the original road, but generally go from east to west. When you meet wells, bridges, intersections, temples and graves, you should scatter red paper money or set off firecrackers. At the man's house, the unmarried girl greeted him, and the married woman took the torch and turned around the wedding car three times.
