? Marriage proposal means that when a man and a woman talk about marriage, the matchmaker is entrusted by one party to find out the age, occupation, zodiac, working ability and economic conditions of both men and women, and put forward the words of marriage matchmaker for both parties.

First, what to prepare?

1, gift

? Before proposing marriage, the man should take the initiative to ask the woman's views and opinions, such as the amount, whether to accept the bride price, etc. And we must discuss it before, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. Engagement fees are divided into two categories: large engagement (the amount is 20 million to several million) and small engagement (the amount is above 0- 1 10,000). Generally speaking, it is to accept a small engagement, withdraw a big engagement or send a house without an engagement fee. Of course, it can also be decided according to local customs in the end. In some areas, it is not necessary to bring gifts.

2. Six kinds of gifts

Two cigarettes (such as Zhonghua), two bottles of famous wine (such as Wuliangye) and two boxes of high-grade supplements (such as ginseng and cordyceps sinensis). If the woman's grandparents live together, they need to buy some drinks, food and fruit for the elderly to show their love and respect for the elderly. If the woman has children at home, she needs to bring a children's educational toy, a small schoolbag or a children's book.

3. Eight kinds of gifts

Traditionally, marriage proposal should bring eight gifts: cigarettes, wine, tea, sugar, cakes, noodles, fish and meat. Special note: noodles, generally choose noodles (including dried noodles); Fish, generally choose carp; Meat, generally choose pig hind legs; In particular, remember: cigarettes, wine, tea, sugar, cakes and noodles must be of good quality and high grade, and be bought in duplicate. In some places, the old rule is to bring money, because the parents of the man need to buy clothes and three gold for the woman.

Second, the process of proposing marriage
