Therefore, engagement is not only an important foundation before marriage, but also the beginning of the integration of two families. The parents of both sides mainly discussed issues such as bride price. Good communication between newlyweds and their parents can make the engagement get off to a good start.
2. The two sides discuss the bride price: although there are cases in each village. But most places in China have the custom of bride price and gold ornaments. That is, before the engagement, the man prepares the bride price and gold ornaments in advance and implements the "big gift" on the engagement day. These need to be agreed according to the economic situation of the two countries.
