Ancient wedding etiquette

It means that the man lets people accept the gift of his choice to show the meaning of choosing this woman as a marriage. In addition, it should be emphasized that there is a "give" ceremony before winning the lottery, that is, the man first sends the matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage, and the woman's house allows it, and then the man sends the matchmaker to the woman's house to win the lottery, which is to give the bride price.

Step 2 ask the name

Its meaning refers to the ceremony immediately after accepting the lottery on the day of winning the prize, that is, asking the hostess for the woman's name.

3. Najib

The reason why I want to ask the name is to go back and predict to the man's master whether I am lucky to marry the woman. With luck, the man will send a matchmaker to the woman's house to inform her that this is "Naji".

4. Zheng Na

After Najib, there was a sign, that is, the man asked the matchmaker to give the bride price to the woman's home, indicating that the marriage relationship between the two sexes was formally established and the most important gift was received.

5. Please make a date

After the conscription, the man should choose a good day to get married through divination. After the date is determined, he must send a matchmaker to report to the woman's home. But at the time, the matchmaker first asked the hostess for the wedding date on behalf of the man's master.

This is to show modesty and not dare to specialize, so it is called "invitation". In the case of repeated refusal by the hostess, the matchmaker told the hostess the date chosen by the man. Then it's the wedding day.

Step 6 welcome in person

At the appointed wedding date, the man will personally go to the woman to marry the bride.

7. Visit the church

After the bride enters the door, she worships God, father, relatives and husband. The bride and groom worship heaven and earth first, and then meet their in-laws and relatives in turn. At this time, worshippers and worshippers often give gifts to each other. Finally, the couple paid homage. After the ceremony, the couple were sent to the new house by relatives and friends.
