What are the wedding customs in Guangdong?

First, the wedding process in Guangdong

1. At about 7 o'clock in the morning, the bride and groom began to make up, and then the things were ready. The groom set out from home to pick up the bride.

2. The wedding car to pick up the bride should be even, and firecrackers should always be set off on the way to pick up the bride. When the bride arrives at the groom's house, she needs to cross the fire plate and then hold a wedding ceremony in the wedding room.

3. After the ceremony, it was almost 1 1 when the couple went to the hotel where the wedding reception was held to meet the guests. After all the guests are here, the wedding begins, and then the wedding reception begins.

4. After the wedding reception, thank the guests and send them away, and then start preparing the thank-you dinner.

Second, Guangdong marriage customs

1. On the wedding day, when the bride goes out, sister-in-law and aunt can't send her away, because sister-in-law is homophonic with sweeping the floor, and aunt is homophonic with loneliness, which all mean unlucky. Moreover, the clothes that the bride wears when she goes out cannot have pockets, so as not to take away the wealth at home.

No one can sit on the new bed before the wedding is finished, and the bride can't sit or lie on the bed, so as to avoid being sick in bed all the year round.

On the wedding day, the clothes and shoes worn by the bride, including underwear, should be brand-new, which means a new atmosphere. Throw away the old and the bad.

The bride must wear earrings when she goes out, indicating that she will listen to her mother-in-law. If she didn't get her ears pierced, she should wear clip earrings.

5. If the elder of the couple has a deceased person, put the tea offered by the couple in the place where they should sit when offering tea, and move the stool by the way after offering tea, and then let the next person sit.

6. Because children are more likely to cry, children should avoid entering the wedding auditorium, because it is unlucky to cry in the auditorium.

On the day of the return of the Three Dynasties, the couple had to leave their parents' home before the sun went down, and could not spend the night at their parents' home. If you can't go home for special reasons, the husband and wife should sleep separately, so as not to bump into their parents' home and make their parents unlucky.

The origin of the word marriage

Marriage was also called "faint marriage" or "faint cause" in ancient times. Generally speaking, there are three versions of the origin of the word marriage:

Zheng Xuan in Han Dynasty said that marriage refers to the ceremony of marriage. In ancient weddings in China, the man usually went to the woman's house to meet the bride at dusk, and the woman went out with the man. This custom of "men faint and women welcome, and women come because of men" is the origin of the words "faint" and "cause". In other words, marriage refers to the process of a man marrying a woman.
