Three: marriage. There are three ways to greet the bride in Qingdao. The first way is for the groom to meet the bride in person at the woman's house, which is the first choice for modern well-off families. The second way is that the groom takes a sedan chair for more than ten steps from the sedan chair platform, and then the groom's brother picks up the bride at the woman's house, and the bride waits at home. Many families also adopt this way of waiting for the bride or choosing the bride. The third is that the man's family no longer sends someone to the woman's house to pick up the bride, but the uncle or brother of the woman's house sends the bride to the man's house. This is to see her off.
