Hunan Loudi Engagement Customs

In fact, Xinhua to say the words are more complicated.... (

In fact, Xinhua is a bit complicated.) My grandmother's family is also Xinhua. So my brother's wedding ceremony was a big mess...

First the engagement.... The man pays a deposit to the woman at the time of the engagement... The woman makes (or buys) a dress (suit, tie, shirt, shoes, socks) ... For the son-in-law-to-be... The prospective son-in-law will wear the suit to the official wedding ceremony.. And then the parents. Uncles. ..and the man's parents for dinner... To discuss the date and process of the marriage .... And a set of gold jewelry for the woman... (except for the ring)...

Then comes the wedding... The first thing to do is to receive the bride... The man goes to the woman's house to take the bride out... You have to go there almost 3 hours in advance... Because there are still some children to give ~ ~ hit the red envelope ... Usually 10 dollars... And then the bridesmaids have to take a lot of tests... Like hiding the bride's shoes.. The groom will have to find them before he can take the bride away...

Then it's back to the bridal chamber... At this time, the man's parents (elders who have given birth to a son) make the bed in the new room... Waiting for the new couple to come back... Then the woman will send some quilts... ..and carry them back to the new house... The woman's parents will give the bride a box.. Inside is some dowry.. And money... Generally speaking.. The dowry is the man's deposit for the engagement.. If conditions permit.. The woman will also add some money into it...

Then it's off to the hotel... The first thing to note is that... The table at the restaurant must have peanuts on it... Start the wedding .......... Here you can give the ring to the bride .... Then after the meal is served the bride changes into her cheongsam .... Then the newlyweds go table by table to make a toast ..... Then the guests leave... Then the evening is at your disposal ......

And then it's.... ...3 days I think... I think it was 3 days. I'm not sure .... The first thing you need to do is to get back to the house. The bride and groom have to go back to the woman's home to organize the return banquet... What kind of neighbors are invited to the banquet? Relatives and friends. For dinner... But it's not that formal. It's just a normal dinner party ....
