Hubei newlyweds tied the knot and the bride was covered in gold bracelets. What are the local customs?

On a wedding car in Hubei, a bride covered in gold bracelets suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity. Some people say that this is deliberately showing off wealth, some people say that the bride is too materialistic and worships money, and some people objectively say that this is a custom.

In fact, people who don't know the situation think it is possible. However, looking at our marriage customs in China for thousands of years, it is true that every place has its own characteristics and many similarities.

Generally, people with good family conditions want their girls to get married in style and wear all kinds of ornaments, including gold bracelets and necklaces. In fact, wearing all kinds of ornaments also means good luck.

In addition to the girls' strange clothes, marriage customs have also aroused heated discussion. For example, before marriage, the man should prepare enough gift money to marry the bride, and the amount of gift money varies according to different places. Families with good conditions also need to prepare three gold coins, engagement rings and so on.

The day before the wedding, happy characters and decals should also be prepared to prepare for the wedding reception that day. It's actually very festive. The woman should also prepare a red envelope for the man as a gift to change her mouth. Engagement ceremonies are mostly simple, that is, eating and receiving gifts, and there are no special requirements.

However, on the wedding day, special attention should be paid. For example, the bride's clothes should not have pockets, so as not to take away the wealth at home, and the bride should not lie in bed at will on the wedding day. Generally, there will be peanuts, longan, red dates and medlar on the bed, indicating early birth. When the bride left her family, everyone wept bitterly to show their reluctance. There is also the custom of making trouble in the bridal chamber all over the country, and everyone will feel that it is getting worse and worse, and it has been making trouble until late at night. On the third day after marriage, both husband and wife will go to the woman's house, which is what we call returning home. When returning home, both husband and wife must go on the same day and return on the same day.

In a word, the wedding custom is the most complicated thing. No matter how many gold bracelets the bride wears, it is a blessing from her family and a good wish for her daughter. Of course, these are all based on relatively good economic conditions. If the economy is average, there is no need to pursue form too much, because the country now advocates simplicity. It is most important for husband and wife to discuss a good life.
