What are the wedding customs in Yantai?

In ancient times, people usually used red to drive away evil spirits. Because red is the color of blood, evil spirits are afraid of animal blood, so they dare not go near people wearing red clothes, which is why people put up red couplets during the New Year. Married couples should wear red clothes, red from the inside out. Shoes and socks should also be red.

Young people nowadays have their own ideas. Many people don't like to wear red clothes, such as people wearing white wedding dresses and silver wedding shoes. This is also accepted by various traditional families, and gradually divorced from the content of Yantai marriage customs.

Other items are mainly red, such as red envelopes and red pots. The suitcase that the bride sent to the groom's house should be red. The bedding prepared by the groom's family should also be mainly red, the money should be wrapped in red envelopes, and the tool for tying onions on the wedding car is red rope. In short, red is used anywhere you can think of.

The expenses for a couple to get married generally include: buying a wedding room, house decoration, buying furniture and appliances, bride price, buying a car, taking wedding photos, buying a wedding ring, holding a wedding banquet, honeymoon trip, buying household items and so on.
