A probe into the wedding customs in Huoshan, Anhui Province

1. Proposal: The man entrusts the matchmaker to propose to the woman. After the woman agrees, the man's parents go to the woman's house to meet their parents and bring some gifts appropriately.

Second, looking at others, the woman took three aunts and six grandmothers (all immediate female relatives) to the man's house to "find fault." Now she will take important relatives to the woman's parents' house, and the man will prepare a banquet and give red envelopes to everyone who goes.

Engagement: The man's parents go to the woman's house to discuss the wedding date and the matters to be dealt with by both parties. At this time, the man wants to buy the bride-to-be engagement tokens, mostly clothes and jewelry.

4. Marriage: The woman will hold a wedding reception at noon on the wedding day. Pork, tobacco, alcohol and sugar are provided by the man to attend the wedding banquet. After lunch, the man's men will bring back the bride and dowry. It turned out that the man went to the woman to get the bride, and the man carried the dowry. Now most of them are answered by the groom himself. But the countryside is still.

The man gave a banquet the night before, and at noon and at night on the wedding day.

Now it is mostly held in hotels on both sides, and the countryside remains the same.

After the bride and groom came home, the woman held a banquet at noon, and in the afternoon, the groom began to visit her important relatives.

Sixth, return to the door, the bride returns to the door on the fourth day of the first year after marriage, and the steps are the same as five.
