What are the customs of rural weddings? What customs do you dislike?

Marriage is a great blessing for everyone, and with the wedding comes endless customs, both good and bad. However, with the development of society, the marriage customs of urban people have been simplified a lot, while in rural areas, relatively speaking, most areas still retain some traditional customs. For example, my hometown Shandong has the following customs.

(1) make a bridal chamber

This is very important for our wedding here. Before, it was a little worse. There used to be cases of divorce because of the bridal chamber, but now fewer people get married and have a bridal chamber. Even if there is, it won't be too much, even if you draw turtles on your face to compete for honey. After all, the festive days have made everyone feel bad.

(2) Huimen

On the third day after marriage, it is the day when the new daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home, also called "Returning to her parents' home" day. On this day, the groom will accompany the bride with gifts such as candy, fish, meat, tobacco, alcohol and tea, and accompany her back to her parents' home.

(3) splash a basin of water after the bride leaves on the wedding day.

On the wedding day, the groom took the motorcade to the bride's house early to meet her. When the groom takes the bride away in the wedding car, relatives will splash a basin of water behind the car where the bride is sitting, which means that the married girl spilled water, and the married girl belongs to someone else's family.

(4) Pay attention to getting in and out of the wedding car

Wedding cars should go in and out in the order of "going east and going west". Drive east when you leave the village and west when you enter the village. In addition, as long as there are stones or temples in the village where the floats pass, they should be pressed with red paper for good luck.

(5) New connection

The so-called bride-taking means that when the bride arrives at the groom's house, she has to call her sister-in-law to get off the bus, and the children are ready to take the bride-taking. When she gets married, say something nice and have a baby early.

There should be no pockets on the bride's clothes.

The bride is very particular about her dress when she becomes a monk. The bride has pockets on her clothes, saying that she wants to take away the family wealth.

(7) The bride can't wear old clothes.

On the wedding day, the bride can't wear old clothes. All shoes and clothes must be new.

Generally speaking, the above seven points are the customs in our rural areas, because the marriage customs in different regions are different. Welcome to share your parents' wedding customs.
