Where is Hebi? Is there any wedding custom in Hebi?

Hebi, a famous historical and cultural city, is rich in cultural heritage and famous people come forth in large numbers. Custom has always represented the cultural heritage of a region. Although the wedding custom is a bit complicated, it expresses people's longing for a better life. As the saying goes, men should get married and women should get married. So the wedding should be organized according to custom.

First of all, the wedding customs in Hebi are similar to those in other parts of Henan Province. You need to follow several steps and some processes bit by bit. First of all, before marriage, after determining the relationship between men and women, of course, you must meet your parents. At this time, it is usually the man who comes forward to book a private room in the hotel, and everyone can talk about the marriage of the two families while eating. Generally, women's parents are more concerned about the man's education, personality, salary level, dowry and other practical issues. If the man's parents are satisfied with the woman, some parents will give her some gifts to show their sincerity.

Secondly, if both parents agree, it is necessary to determine the auspicious time for marriage, and then the man will send the bride price to the woman's home as agreed. Now it is more suitable to give priority to cash, and some physical objects are rarely sent again. The bride's dowry is generally mainly electrical appliances and daily necessities in the newly-married house, but when she meets a rich father-in-law, she may use the car as a dowry. On the wedding day, there will be two waves. Usually, after the man arrives at the appointed auspicious time, he and the best man drive the wedding car to pick up the bride. This process is called "marriage ceremony". Generally, there are requirements for the number of wedding banquets and the number of wedding cars. The man will take the first wedding car, which is usually red, and then he will be decorated with some colorful balloons.

Finally, on the other hand, the man's parents should greet the guests at home. Because some close relatives don't go to the hotel first, they usually go to the man's house first and congratulate him in person. Then the man must arrange someone to receive the guests well. Some distant relatives come from far away and usually go directly to the hotel where the banquet is booked, so the hotel should also arrange people to wait. And prepare cigarettes, wine, candy, melon seeds and other things in the hotel, because the bride and groom have not arrived yet, let them wait for a while.
