Seeing the bride off is a marriage custom. When the daughter got married, the family invited two men to accompany her to her husband's house, commonly known as seeing her off. Generally, it is the uncle, uncle or cousin of the married person. After giving him away, he can't enter the house until someone picks him up. When eating, two tables are usually shared, and the man sends someone to accompany the banquet. Generally, people who send their relatives away drink less and eat less. After eating, they told their wives to leave. After seeing off the bride, the man's guests continued the wedding reception.

What's the point of getting married and giving it away?
Marriage is an important event in everyone's life. Nowadays, many young people choose the western wedding mode because of westernization, but most people still choose the traditional wedding mode in China, because the traditional customs at the time of marriage make us feel particularly cordial. I believe everyone can see it from the small customs and habits of getting married and seeing off relatives!
First of all, don't look back.
On the wedding day, the number of cars that the man came to pick up his relatives was odd, and the woman's family made up a double number and could not go back. In other words, the person who receives the wedding should be singular, and the person who delivers the wedding should also be singular, so that the singular can be even.
As the saying goes? Both husband and wife return to China? Well, people in China generally think that even numbers are very lucky. Pairing and flying with me are good meanings, so what is it? What's the point of getting married and giving it away? The first thing to note is yo!
Two or four male relatives escorted the bride to her husband's house.
In ancient times, when a woman got married, she was carried to her husband's house in a sedan chair. On the way, her family saw the bride off at the four corners of the sedan chair. These four men are all men. They may be their elders, uncles and so on. It can also be a younger brother or cousin equivalent to the bride. Men escorting the bride not only shows that the woman attaches importance to the wedding, but also shows that the woman's family knows etiquette.
Four male relatives escort the bride to her husband's house, which is a tradition in China since ancient times, so this little note needs everyone's attention!

Third, bridesmaids should choose unmarried girls.
The choice of bridesmaids is also particular. Most bridesmaids are m-girls, and girls are unmarried girls. The bridesmaid can be a good friend of the bride or a relative of the bride, but if she is a relative, she is generally the same generation as the bride, and it is best not to be a junior or an elder.
There is another thing that needs special attention. In many places, the sisters and brothers of the bride can't go to see her off. These are all small things that should be paid attention to when getting married and seeing someone off! ?
Fourth, the bride's brother or younger brother is sent to marry.
In many places, there is a particularly interesting custom of seeing the bride off. The groom comes to pick up the bride, and after putting on the bride's shoes, the bride can't walk on the float that comes to meet her, but let her brother or brother carry the float or carry it on his back. There are also many places where the bride sits in a chair and the brothers carry the bride on the float together.
The taboo of getting married and giving it away.
1. What about the person who sent the bride? All alive? Avoid sending widows and pregnant women. This is very particular in the Central Plains.
2. In Bohai Bay area, are there any people seeing off relatives? Will dad send mom or not? 、? Aunt don't marry, aunt don't send, aunt send sick? Taboo customs. It is a taboo for women to stand up in marriage, on the one hand, it is contempt for women, on the other hand, it is because women are soft-hearted and fragile. Seeing relatives get married will give birth to some sad emotions, and may even cry. This is the misfortune of marriage, so there are some taboos.

4, many places are not welcome. The bride is sent directly from the woman to the man's house. In other places, women don't send relatives to men's homes, but only send sedan chairs (chariots and horses). Rich family and bride? Married? Past? Marry a servant girl? This kind of relatives will be sent away.
In ancient times, there was a taboo that married women's homes were not lit for three days. It is recorded in the Book of Rites that it is said to be a sign of injury. Among taboos, pregnant women are the most taboo. Probably afraid? Contact dyeing? So the bride became pregnant and became an unfaithful bride.
