Brief introduction of Beijing wedding custom

1. After the engagement is confirmed, the man will choose an auspicious day, bring the Khmer Rouge (marriage certificate) and hold an engagement ceremony. The man will give the woman clothes, jewelry, wine, fruit cakes and other gifts, which are called gifts, but they are only small gifts. One month before the wedding, he will give a big gift, usually food, clothes, wine and live geese.

2. Near the auspicious day, the man's family will also send makeup promotion gifts to the woman's family, including pork and mutton, dried noodles and rice cakes. Among them, the meat is to cut off the flesh and blood of the daughter's family and let her get married, while the rice cake means that her daughter will climb up step by step after marriage.

3. After the woman puts on makeup in the man's house, she will immediately send the dowry to the man's house to install a new house.

When the bride arrives at the door of the man's house, the groom will shake the bow and arrow at the bride's feet three times to drive away evil spirits. Then the bride can cross the brazier and enter the door.

5. Then, the bride and groom worship the heavens and the earth, go to the new house to settle accounts, eat jiaozi longevity noodles together and drink a toast.

On the third day after marriage, the new uncle accompanied the new wife to visit her parents.
