Which comes first, the daughter's wedding or the formal wedding?

The wedding reception was held the day before the wedding.

In the past, the day before the bride got married, the bride's family would hold a wedding reception for the girl, which was also the last meal for the girl at her family, because after marriage, she became a member of the man's family. All the people invited were close relatives and friends of her family.

On the wedding day, the bride's parents can't appear at the wedding scene, so the bride's family will entertain close relatives and close friends before the girl goes out. Fangshan District of Beijing still retains the custom that the groom's parents attend the wedding banquet and the bride's mother does not appear at the wedding scene.

Of course, the most popular fashion wedding now is that both parents and relatives and friends are present at the same time. It only takes one day for both sides to hold a celebration banquet.

When the daughter grew up, she began to propose marriage (commonly known as "asking for marriage"), and her parents prepared dowry, pulled clothes, bought uppers and picked silk threads for her. Start the delicate work that needs embroidery in advance. If you can't handle or do it yourself, ask someone for help. According to the local custom, the number of clothes, shoes and socks accompanying the daughter's room should be avoided as much as possible, and pairs should be emphasized.

Even if the family is difficult, try to sew a new quilt for your daughter. It is said that it is not lacking in spirit for a daughter to quilt with her family after marriage. When a woman is about to get married, she should not only be busy with her own needlework, but also do some needlework for her husband, mother-in-law, brother, sister-in-law and other major family members, such as shoes, stomach wraps, cigarette packs, pillowcases and so on.

Only when these needlework are exquisite, novel and fashionable can we show the bride's craftsmanship and please her husband's family. People with better families will also ask carpenters to make cabinets for their daughters, paint them red, and draw folk paintings of "Feng Dan facing the sun", "Peacock beating peony" and "Dragon and Phoenix becoming auspicious". However, in the past, there were not many families who could afford to accompany the cabinet.

In addition, it is necessary to raise a sum of money for the daughter to take with her when she gets married, which is also commonly known as "aging money". When the wedding is held, the husband's family will increase the money, and the money will increase. Moreover, this money is the bride's private wealth and self-care ability, so parents should put as much money as possible when the economy is possible, so that their daughters can have it at hand after going through the door.
