Weddings are usually held once every two days. The location of the first day is at the woman's house, which is mainly a way for the bride to bid farewell to her girlhood. Second, God is the farewell ceremony of the woman's family and the wedding ceremony of the man's family. In the early morning, the priest announced that he would drink "horse wine". Accompanied by bridesmaids, fathers, uncles and brothers and sisters, the bride got on the horse and walked to the groom's house. After arriving at the groom's door, there will be a small "war". One of the women rode into a particularly small felt house, and the man tried his best to protect it. After three rounds, the "war" came to an end. Finally, accompanied by wedding songs, a couple walked into the new house and started a new life.
