What is the custom of getting married in Inner Mongolia?

Mongolia has many engagement gifts. If a Mongolian boy secretly loves a girl, he should ask the matchmaker to bring a white towel with items such as sugar, tea and glue to symbolize harmony, sweetness and exuberance before engagement. If the woman accepts, the marriage can proceed. Later, the man's parents and I will propose marriage with gifts such as Hada, milk wine and candy. It usually takes several times to get engaged. After the woman accepts the wedding, the man will give her three glasses of wine. If the woman accepts and drinks three glasses of wine, the marriage is settled. Near the wedding day, the man will give the woman a gift, usually a whole sheep, wine, tea and hada. The woman warmly entertained the giver, and both sides raised their glasses, recited auspicious sentences and celebrated songs. The groom was tested by breaking the sheep's neck. When the Mongolian groom and wedding procession in Erdos arrive at the bride's house, they are always warmly received by the bride's house as guests. Everyone will eat, drink, sing and dance together, which is very lively. At this time, the man will quietly leave the banquet and lead the groom to the bride's room. After they sit down at the guest table, the escort will bring the groom a cooked sheep neck and ask him to break it in the middle to test his strength. In order to amuse the groom, the accompanying woman has skillfully inserted a wicker or iron bar into the bone marrow tube of the sheep's neck. If he gets the groom's instructions in advance, he will see through the mystery, take out wicker or iron bar and break the sheep's neck easily. Some bridegrooms don't know the secret, so they make great efforts to make them sweat, like dogs biting turtles, anxious and ashamed. The escort took the opportunity to make fun of the groom in very mean but not malicious language. The groom's face was flushed with ridicule, and he hoped that there would suddenly be a hole under his feet to hide.

On the way to the wedding, we were in a hurry to get married. According to the custom, we all want to get home first, and both men and women chase each other for fun. Sometimes, the bride's relatives will take the groom's hat, pick it on the whip, or throw it on the ground. The groom had no choice but to dismount and pick, which delayed the time. Sometimes, clever men also have a way to host a banquet for relatives not far from the groom's house. The woman refused, so she had to dismount and drink, and the man took the opportunity to go home first. All the way to Ma Benteng, you chased me, and the atmosphere was warm and full of life. Don't worship heaven and earth, don't worship fire. The date of marriage is decided by the person who kills chickens and divines. On the same day, the girl was sent to the groom's house by her parents and references. The groom's family prepares wine and meat to entertain. When the bride arrives, she and the groom will kill a chicken with a knife to see if the chicken liver lines are good or bad. If unlucky, the bride and groom will each kill another chicken until the chicken liver appears in Ji Xiangwen. Then, the bride and groom held a drinking ceremony. Put a bowl of wine in front of everyone, put ghee on the edge of the bowl, take a sip and then propose a toast. After the bride and groom finish drinking, they will also entertain the introducer and all the guests. Then the guests from both sides and relatives and friends who came to congratulate kept drinking, singing and dancing until they stayed up all night.
