What is the wedding custom in Guizhou? What are the customs?

Young men should choose their partners in the way of "singing folk songs and confinement", then go through the process of finding relatives, betrothal and engagement as in the past, and finally hold a wedding on an auspicious day.

The bride enters the house on time according to the chosen auspicious time.

On the night of the wedding, the groom's family invited the bride to meet the bride, and the bride invited "Shang Ga" (a Dong singer) and several married sisters to go to the groom's house with the bride. The bride entered the house on time according to the chosen auspicious time.

3. Ancestor worship.

When the bride enters the door, she should pick up a handful of glutinous rice with a silver necklace that was placed outside the threshold in advance, lift her left foot into the hall, put the glutinous rice under the shrine, and then sit on the stone bench next to the pillar, with "Shangga" and her married sisters on the left and right respectively, and then make ancestor worship.

4, do not enter the bridal chamber.

The bride doesn't go to the wedding with the groom, or go into the bridal chamber, or spend the night with the groom. Instead, she sang pipa and wine songs with the male singer invited by the groom and "Shangga" and her married sisters until dawn.

The next day, the groom and his companions sent the bride and "Shangga" and the girl they married back to their parents' home (called "transfer friends" in Dong language), and the wedding was over.

Step 5 stay with your husband

After the "transfer", the bride lived in her family. I used to live in my parents' house for more than three years, but now I have to turn over for at least one year. The reason why the bride "stays at home" is to repay her parents' kindness; Secondly, I can't bear to part with my companion, and I have to go back to Yuetang to accompany my companion. Until my companion has a companion, the bride can live with the groom's parents.
