Traditional Marriage Customs in Jinsha, Guizhou Province

I am a Han nationality in Guizhou. Regarding your question, my traditional practice here is:

First, it is certain that marriage is the woman's first wedding, but the wedding between men and women is two days apart.

For example, if the wedding date is the first and second day of a month.

Then, the first day is mainly a happy event held by the woman's family, because on this day, the new family comes to greet the bride, and the relatives and friends of the woman come to congratulate and visit the married woman, bid farewell to the married woman and so on. The bride got married early the next morning. Three days later, I will go back to my parents' house with that man.

Secondly, God wants the man's family to hold a wedding ceremony, because this genius brings the bride. Relatives and friends who come to congratulate the man should also see what the bride looks like before they can get to know each other. (In fact, for the two families, these two days are happy events, but the two families focus on which day is different. For the man, the first day is not the main thing, but it is necessary to invite people to meet the bride. For the woman, the bride will continue to entertain her relatives and friends left behind after her marriage the next day. I think it is mainly because it takes two days to get married.

Second, about the Chinese New Year, we usually spend it at the man's house, but we will definitely go to the woman's house during the Chinese New Year.

My experience is limited. I'm just talking about our practice there. I wonder if there are any special regulations in other places or ethnic minorities. Besides, I wonder if there are any new changes now. In short, up to now, it's enough that we got married without a happy event. If we want to do it, we will do it according to the above statement. P.S. Our home is not far from Guiyang.

I hope it helps you. Suggestion: It is most accurate to directly consult the woman you mentioned, or let her ask her at home and do whatever she wants at home.
