1. Key points of modern Chinese wedding process

1. Departure from sedan chair

Accompanied by gongs and drums, suona and lion dance, the sedan chair started to depart. Traditionally, the bride should be carried out by her brother and put on a sedan chair. However, modern people are mostly only children, so they can only be done by cousins or groomsmen, and usually they also change their backs to hugs. At present, the distance of the sedan chair is just a formality. Unless the two families are particularly close, it will be exhausting to carry it from one end of Shanghai to the other. However, it is customary to give red envelopes to the bearers, otherwise they will intentionally vibrate the sedan chair to make the bride "feel better".

2. Crossing the brazier and archery

In the ancient ceremony, the bride crossed the brazier in a sedan chair, but now it is usually the bride who directly crossed it with the help of the matchmaker. Then, before getting off the sedan chair, the groom has to draw a bow and shoot three red arrows at the sedan door to drive away the evil spirits that the bride may be contaminated along the way.

3. Visiting the church and drinking a glass of wine

After the brazier, some people have to cross the saddle, which indicates that the new couple is safe after marriage; Then, the bridegroom picks up the Xipa on the bride's head with a scale wrapped in a red cloth. At this time, it is time for a couple to formally pay their respects. The most important part after the meeting is not to make a toast, but to offer tea to the high halls of both sides. Usually, at this time, a group of people are in tears, and the scene is touching, and there is deep affection in the warm festive atmosphere.

4. Getting married with one heart and thanking the media

Many modern wedding ceremonies are to show things that should be in the bridal chamber. For example, knot hair, should be a couple in the bridal chamber to cut some hair to each other, as a token of the relationship between husband and wife together to save, now it is a public performance. After that, the mothers of both sides lit dragon and phoenix candles, and the couple exchanged incense books and beautiful jade as keepsakes, and then invited the matchmaker to give them hoofs.
