Now, the betrothal is not legally guaranteed, the marriage does not have to go through the betrothal, so generally do not do the betrothal procedures. But in the countryside, many families will still be engaged as an important procedure for marriage, but the etiquette of engagement has become increasingly simple, usually a few tables of wine or refreshments, in addition to both parties and legal representatives, distribution of betrothal wedding invitations or verbal invitations, please both sides of the introducer, attestation, and more confidant relatives and friends, *** with the meal, some of the exchange of ornaments, fill in the certificate of engagement, and so on.

Second, the wedding ceremony

At present, it is difficult to see the old-fashioned wedding ceremony. If we do, it is in the poor countryside, or in particularly conservative families. However, some of the newer marriage ceremonies are modeled after Western customs, but in our vast country, it is not possible to change them completely for a short period of time, so that nowadays marriage ceremonies can be said to be a blend of East and West, with some variations depending on the customs or the social environment

The following is an overview of the various types of marriage ceremonies. The various marriage ceremonies we have described below can only be described as relatively common.

Currently, the most common marriage ceremony in China is a banquet held in a hotel or home. In the center of the banquet hall, set up a "main table". The main table can put a flower basket, a bottle of flowers or a pair of dragon and phoenix candle. The bride and groom are usually accompanied by their bridesmaids and groomsmen. The bridesmaids and groomsmen are usually chosen from among their closest friends. The main conditions for the selection of bridesmaids and groomsmen, first, of course, to be well groomed; second, to be unmarried, the age of the bride and groom are generally lighter; third, we must pay attention to the height of the body, suitable for the bride and groom, otherwise it is very unsightly. In the banquet, the bride and groom shall be together to each seat to toast, to show appreciation. Here to remind you of a special word, in the toast, on the one hand, certainly can not refuse to guests to you toast, but no matter how much you drink macro, but also have to keep a margin, do not be filled with drunkenness. This is the best way, is to invite one or a few more magnificent friends to accompany, when necessary, can be made by them for you to block the "wine" card, which is not rude, but also does not destroy the happy atmosphere of the good way.

On the night of the wedding, there is often called "the new room" after the program, if not too much, can really increase the atmosphere of joy, it is harmless. The so-called "new room", often confidants of similar age of friends and relatives of the same age, elders and juniors are rarely participate. Among them are asked to report on the bride and groom in love, or show eating candy (to attract the bride and groom kissing), or deliberately steal a little East two, asked the bride and groom to treat, and so on, to name a few. In short, its purpose is to increase the lively atmosphere. At the end of the night, guests will be able to stop.

The bride and groom can wear dresses when they get married. The groom, according to international etiquette, should wear a tuxedo, but at present, the suit is the most common, followed by a mountain suit is more. The bride's dress is usually an evening gown of white gauze or white satin. It should be noted that the groomsmen's dresses should be the same as those of the bride. In the banquet toast, the bride and groom can be accompanied by a change of regular clothes.
