In ancient times, if you had a crush on a girl, you wouldn't go to the door to pursue it, and the same is true in modern times. Instead, you will find an experienced matchmaker to go to your aunt's house instead of you. If a girl has a good impression on you, she will say to her parents, "This is a decision made by her parents for life." If the girl is not satisfied with the man, she will say to her parents, "I want to be filial to my parents for another two years."

Second, propose an engagement.

After the blind date stage, if the girl is satisfied with the man and meets his eyes, then the man is ready to propose. Understand the family status, personal personality and other information of both parties. If there is no problem, decide on this marriage. Otherwise, the following steps will not continue.

Three, three books and six gifts

When both parties are satisfied, the man will start to prepare three six gifts, three of which refer to: engagement letter (engagement certificate, which Najib will give to the woman at the six gifts), gift book (equivalent to the current bride price list) and welcome book (equivalent to the current marriage certificate, which proves that the girl has married the man).

Six gifts refer to receiving gifts (the man wants to send nearly 30 gifts to the woman), asking names (the age of men and women is the same), Naji (asking for instructions in front of the gods), receiving gifts (bride price and dowry), inviting parties (fixing the wedding date) and welcoming relatives (receiving relatives).

Fourth, get married.

After completing the above steps, as long as the last step is completed, two people can be regarded as formal husband and wife. The man took the woman to the house to pay homage to the wedding ceremony, mainly "one worships heaven and earth, the other worships the high hall, and the husband and wife respect each other", so the ceremony was completed. The bride was sent to the bridal chamber to wait, while the groom was dining with the guests. Until the end of the dinner, the bride and groom will not enter the bridal chamber to carry on the family line.
