The woman returns the gift: you can prepare a hen and exchange it with the hen that the man gave when he was engaged, so that the man can bring back a pair of chickens (including the cock that the other party originally gave).

Pick up relatives:

On the first day of marriage, the man's family should prepare more than two decorated wedding cars to come to the woman's house to pick up the bride and dowry, which is also called picking up relatives. The groom's wedding car arrives at the woman's house, and the woman's house will set off firecrackers. After that, the groom can enter the woman's house. The groom will also bring the bride's flowers and fine cigarettes to the bride's house. When you see the bride, give her the bouquet. At the same time, cigarettes were generously distributed to the woman's family. When the couple are at the woman's house, after meeting their ancestors, they should eat Taiping (note: Taiping's soup must be chicken. And the bride should eat slowly, preferably not faster than the groom. After eating too much, the newlyweds took their dowry to get married. Before the newlyweds go out, the bride's house will also set off firecrackers. After that, the newlyweds can walk out of the bride's house. When the bride walks out of the woman's house, never look back. She should move forward happily. Even if she forgets something, she can't turn back. She should let someone else get it. From the time the bride leaves the house until she gets on the bus, the bridesmaid will open an umbrella for the bride when she enters the door, and the bridesmaid is responsible for opening the door. The wedding car began to leave, and the woman's house had to set off firecrackers again. When a daughter gets married in Fuzhou, she must go to the man's house at 12 am. Generally, brides will set off to pick up relatives before 9 am 10.

Eat peacefully:

When the groom arrives at the woman's house, the couple must eat a peaceful bowl. After the bride receives the husband's house, she must eat another bowl of peace. It means to stay safe. According to Fuzhou tradition, before meeting family members, newlyweds should eat Taiping chicken noodles and the groom should eat the head of the chicken, which means that the head of the household and the bride should eat chicken wings and feet. In Fuzhou dialect, this means that it is more blessed to keep a good house and have more children. There are two Taiping eggs in the Taiping plane. Usually, you should eat one and leave one, so that everyone can be safe together.

Make the bed:

Fuzhou people want the elders of the man's family to make beds in the new house, and the elders should choose their parents. A complete child shows that a newcomer can be as happy as this elder. Then find 1 or two cute, smart and beautiful little boys rolling in the new bed, hoping to have beautiful boys in the future. If you like having a girl, find a man and a woman, or just find a girl to roll around. Remember to give each child a red envelope.

See the elders:

From 3 pm to 4 pm, the couple will begin to meet their ancestors, elders, old people and relatives and ask for red envelopes. Fuzhou people are called "Jiantang".

The hotel has a banquet:

Around 5 o'clock, the newcomers will welcome guests to the hotel, and finally the common etiquette in the hotel. The relatives and friends of the couple get together for a wedding banquet. The wedding of the hotel can be arranged by the wedding company. I have seen relatives of my peers on the wine table, and I can still get red envelopes at that time.

Back to the door:

According to Fuzhou custom, when getting married, the first day is the man's house to handle wine. The next day, wine was served at the woman's house, also called Huimen wine. The day after marriage is the day to go home. The bride's family will send her brother-in-law to pick up the bride, and the groom will give her money. Then the groom prepares gifts, visits his parents-in-law with the bride and needs to return the same day.

At this point, the whole wedding ceremony is over. Then our lovely bride and groom can take your suitcase for their honeymoon ~ ~
